Description CrLF0710 CLA 2010-07-16 02:26:27 EDT
Build Identifier: 20100218-1602

If you rename eclipse.exe to, for example, eclipse.java.exe, some components(like those invoked when Eclipse is started) read the configuration from eclipse.java.ini, while some others (like those invoked when new components is installing) read the configuration("-startup") from eclipse.ini. So you have to provide both. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Rename the eclipse.exe to eclipse.java.exe, eclipse.ini to eclipse.java.ini
2. Try to install a software
3. the installation will fail, prompting "Error while loading manipulator"

Guess this goes to Equinox Launcher. If, not appropriate, please reassign
