Description Lars Vogel CLA 2017-03-02 12:02:05 EST 
Currently we write:

"Exit Eclipse SDK?"

I think a better text would be:

"Do you want to exit the Eclipse SDK?"

Illustration of strange grammar in exit confirmation dialog
Comment 4 Roscoe McInerney CLA 2017-05-22 09:33:53 EDT 
The word "the" in the exit-confirmation string doesn't work grammatically with every product name - omitting it would yield:

"Do you want to exit Eclipse SDK?"
and
"Do you want to exit Eclipse?"

- both of which seem reasonable.
Comment 5 Lukas Schmidt CLA 2017-07-21 07:47:02 EDT 
The problem exists in Oxygen. Currently the message reads "Do you want to exit the Eclipse?" -- which might be true, since it's a horror movie ;-)

Works fine for me (see screenshot). Please open a new bug for the EPP component and cc me.

Did the label change not make it in 4.7?

It still says "Do you want to exit the Eclipse?" with the latest downloads.
