Description Vikas Chandra

See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=534579#c0

1) It was good if PDE also shows default({0}) as the text ( that would show as default ( javaw)  if default is not overridden ) just like java application ( jre tab - clicking on alternate JRE).


2) "And (not for 4.8) we should also allow the user to specify the command"

This work depends on the investigation of bug 534579

This is easy to do, see bug 534579 comment 7.

Let's do this when we get a concrete request.
