Description Andrew Niefer CLA 2010-08-24 14:59:24 EDT
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #149994 +++

Eclipse comes with a predefined eclipse.ini:
-vmargs
-Xms20m
-Xmx256m

If eclipse(.exe) is launched without any commandline argumente everything
works as expected. However, if a user chooses to launch eclipse with
a vm-argument, like this:
eclipse.exe -vmargs -ea
then all the vmargs in the ini file are ignored.
Could be "feature" instead of "bug", but it feels buggy nontheless....
