Description Erik Mattheis

The Eclipse platform should adopt Apple's guidelines for the exit and preferences menu options when 
running on Mac OS X. I noticed that Eclipse already supports the use of the Preferences and Quit menu 
items in the application menu, but the File > Exit and Window > Preferences options remain. This is 
redundant. Eclipse should simply check if it's running on Mac OS X, and not display these two menus. 
This simple feature would go a long way to putting a little extra spit-and-polish on the platform 
running under OS X.

We try to avoid any platform specific code in plugins that are supposed to be platform independent.

There are currently no plans to work on this

In HEAD, the actions have been removed from their original locations, but an unnecessary separator remained at the end of the Window menu.

There are currently no plans for further work on this although we would be happy to review a patch
