Build ID: Build id: I20080523-0100

Steps To Reproduce:
This is a problem found in RC2 non-p2 driver
1. Unzip SDK to a directory
2. Put a new splash.bmp in the directory org.eclipse.sdk_3.4.0.v200805230100
3. Change the splash path setting in config.ini to as the following
osgi.splashPath = platform:/base/plugins/org.eclipse.sdk,platform:/base/plugins/org.eclipse.platform
4. Start eclipse
the splash screen is not the one in org.eclipse.sdk. It is still the one from eclipse.platform

Settings in the eclipse.ini file will take precedence over the config.ini file.

The SDK ships with
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform 
in the eclipse.ini file.  This allows for the splash screen to be displayed before java is even started.

To use a splash screen placed in the sdk folder you should change both the eclipse.ini and the config.ini.

Scott, I think you intended a different bug to block bug 280347.  Something about (XMPP server)?
