             Summary: Make compute image descriptions nullable
                 Key: JCLOUDS-277
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-277
             Project: jclouds
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jclouds-compute
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0
            Reporter: Joshua Vote
            Assignee: Joshua Vote
             Fix For: 1.7.0


org.jclouds.compute.domain.Image has "name" and "description" properties. "name" is Nullable but "description" isn't. This seems to be a little inconsistent, why should an Image description String be so strict about its contents if the name is completely ambivalent?

While this seems to be a pretty trivial matter the "openstack-nova" provider has no concept of an Image description, only a name. This is worked around by assigning the "openstack-nova" name to both the JClouds Image name and description. I'm experiencing an issue when the "openstack-nova" has a null name and tries to assign it to the currently NOT nullable description.

I hope this makes sense :)
