Assigning to packaging project.

Good to catch duplicates very soon in the Simultaneous Release cycle!

In that case it is the Java EE Windows 64-bit package:

> -product
> org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product

In the last Simultaneous Releases I did a sanity check of the settings just before the release in May/June (and I will do so again next year). 
I am assigning this to myself to fix this for the next milestone.

Still the case with eclipse-jee-kepler-R-win32-x86_64.zip

I also see at least 3 duplications at the wiki page that describes the 'eclipse.ini' file: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini

Still the case (for --launcher.defaultAction at least) with the likely candidate for the Neon.2 RC2 EPP build: 20161124-0134_eclipse-java-neon-2-RC1-macosx.cocoa.x86_64.tar.gz:

  -startup
  ../Eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.200.v20160318-1642.jar
  --launcher.library
  ../Eclipse/plugins /org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.400.v20160518-1444
  -product
  org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product
  --launcher.defaultAction
  openFile
  -showsplash
  org.eclipse.platform
  --launcher.defaultAction // duplicate
  openFile
  --launcher.appendVmargs
