Description Fix handling of updates to eclipse.ini on restart

  • This prioritized development effort is to fix the reload of eclipse.ini settings on restarting Eclipse Eclipse Equinox P2 Issue #166.
  • No specific time estimate is provided, however it is expected this is on the order of days of work.
  • The expected deliverables are:
    • Pull Request for Eclipse Equinox P2 to fix using updates to eclipse.ini on restart using the standard contribution flow for the Eclipse Project.
    • Note that changes to additional repos may be necessary, for example if changes are needed to eclipse executable then Eclipse Equinox may require PRs too.
    • New and Noteworthy entry for Eclipse Platform for the user visible change
    • New and Noteworthy entry for Eclipse Platform for any API changes needed
  • The Eclipse Foundation IT Infrastructure should not require any involvement for this development effort
  • To demonstrate/verify the completion:
    • Restarting the Eclipse IDE after an install should demonstrate the effects of any p2 instructions installed as described in the issue
