Hello! 
 
There was an outdated FAQ:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href=" http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_What_is_the_minimal_Eclipse_conf iguration%3F"> http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_What_is_the_minimal_Eclipse_conf iguration%3F</a> 
 
Which stated that: 
startup.jar. This file contains a single class used to bootstrap the
platform. Its sole purpose is to find and invoke the plug-in
responsible for starting the platform. 
 
I've updated to: 
<tt>org.eclipse.equinox.launcher</tt>. This plug-in contains
essential
classes to bootstrap the platform. Its purpose is to launch Eclipse
from command line, webstart or by native launcher. 
 
I hope it's correct, but please let me know if I missed something. 
 
thanks

I added the following in addition to the changes you made:

org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.[ws].[os].[arch]. The platform specific fragments
of the org.eclipse.equinox.launcher bundle contain an eclipse native shared
library which is required by the native launcher. This shared library is also
used to display the splash screen. If the native launcher is not being used, and
a splash screen is not required, then this fragment can be excluded.

startup.jar: In Eclipse 3.2 and earlier, the launcher plugin and fragment did
not exist. Instead the startup.jar in the root of the install was responsible
for bootstrapping the platform.
