Description Jeff McAffer

currently we have Main and WebStartMain in startup.jar and a launcher class in the server side bridge code and various people trying to figure out how to start Elcipse manually.  

We should rationalize and unify these capabilties to reduce duplication in this very important and typically sensitive code.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and remove the stalebug whiteboard tag. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
