Description

  1. The description column editability should be set to false (very minor)
  2. Ideally, we could try to render markdown url links in this description column, and potentially use a PlatformService to open a navigator window when a user clicks on the link.
  3. Make the window maximizable
  4. Be able to increase more conveniently the description column (it's a bit painful currently), and potentially multiline (not completely sure it's a good idea)

Research direction

Start by locating the update site table implementation and existing PlatformService usage in the Java Swing UI. Review each of the four requested behaviors separately; done means the description is non-editable, markdown links can open a browser, the window is maximizable, and column resizing or multiline display has a clear chosen behavior.
