Launch the SDK with the -initialize parameter

Expected result, the sdk starts with a clean configuration
Actual result, eclipse does not start, nothing is written to the console
Comment 1 Chris Goldthorpe CLA 2010-05-25 15:09:15 EDT 
I should have read the documentation more carefully:

-initialize (Main)
    initializes the configuration being run. All runtime related data structures and caches are refreshed. Any user/plug-in defined configuration data is not purged. No application is run, any product specifications are ignored and no UI is presented (e.g., the splash screen is not drawn)
