Description Ruben Jenster CLA 2011-04-22 14:59:29 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

If a second instance of eclipse is opened and closed again all successive calls of 'eclipse --launcher.openFile <file>' will start a new eclipse instance.

Expected behaviour: 'eclipse --launcher.openFile <file>' should use the existing (here the first) eclipse instance

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run 'eclipse', to start a first instance
2. run 'eclipse', to start a second instance
3. close the second instance
4. run 'eclipse --launcher.openFile <file>'

This is a problem on the SWT side.
