Build M5

If my runtime workbench session crashes, the debugger correctly detects that 
the processes are dead. However, if I try to launch a new runtime workbench, I 
get an error message telling me to close the running one first.

I thought that this might be because of the presence of a .lock file, but I 
can delete this file and the problem persists.

The only way to start a new session is to exit and restart Eclipse (the 
development workbench).

Note that I'm running a beta version of J9 for both sessions; this might be a 
contributing factor.

Interesting - if I delete the .lock file before I try to relaunch the first 
time, everything is Ok.

The problem only happens if I try to relaunch, get the error, and then delete 
the .lock file. Then I have to exit and restart.

This problem was fixed post-M5 by removing the checks. PDE will not restrict 
launching in post-M5 builds.
