Description Sergey Prigogin CLA 2017-01-26 16:20:33 EST 
To reproduce:
1. Install CDT.
2. Create /tmp/plugin_customization.ini file containing the following line:
org.eclipse.cdt.core/org.eclipse.cdt.core.code_formatter=my_formatter
3. Modify config.ini file and add the line eclipse.pluginCustomization=/tmp/plugin_customization.ini
4. Start Eclipse with the modified config.ini file with "-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=8000" flags on the command line
5. In a separate Eclipse instance open a workspace containing CDT code and put a break point on CustomCodeFormatterBlock.java line 69.
6. Start a debugging session and attach to port 8000.
7. In the Eclipse instance being debugged open C/C++ > Code Style > Formatter preference page
8. When the breakpoint in CustomCodeFormatterBlock.java line 69 is hit, inspect the value of the fDefaultFormatterId field. The field is set to "org.eclipse.cdt.core.defaultCodeFormatter" instead of "my_formatter", which was specified in plugin_customization.ini.

This is a regression from Neon caused by the fix for bug 387898.
