Eclipse 3.5M6 on WinXP
Whenever I use Help->Check for Updates or Help->Install New Software
(and actually update/install something), Eclipse appears to rewrite the
eclipse.ini VM line incorrectly, at least for Windows.
Before running Update/Install, my eclipse.ini contains the line:
-vm
C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_11/bin/javaw.exe
After update/install and closing Eclipse, the line has been changed to:
-vm
file:/C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_11/bin/javaw.exe
And, on the next cold start of Eclipse, Eclipse complains that it cannot
find a JRE in "file:/C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_11/bin/javaw.exe"
Bug?

Could be, but for me it uses a relative path. My eclipse.ini ends up
looking like this:
-vm
.../../../../java/JDK/1.6.0/bin/javaw.exe
I'm not sure what is the purpose of the re-writing in the first place;
it certainly seems like a bug to do it at all. Makes it a pain to move
around either Eclipse installations or JVM installations (both of which
I've done without worry in the past).
If you find or enter a bug report, please post the link here.
