Description Thomas Watson CLA 2011-10-03 09:48:45 EDT 
If osgi.console.enable.builtin is specified it would be nice to allow the value to be a the BSN of the bundle that provides the equinox console support (i.e. org.eclipse.equinox.console.supportability).  I suggest that if the value of osgi.console.enable.builtin=false then the EclipseStarter should attempt to locate and start the default equinox console bundle (org.eclipse.equinox.console.supportability).  If the value of osgi.console.enable.builtin=<!(true|false)> then we use the value as the BSN of the console support bundle.

If the console bundle cannot be found but the osgi.console property is set then we should log an error.  If the console bundle is found but fails to start we should log an error.

If no -console option is specified or it is specified to a port then the EclipseStarter should set gosh.args=--nointeractive

This is to ensure that no console is started on standard in/out.
