Description Dejan Glozic 2001-10-10 22:26:11 EDT

This is a warning from PDE team that PDE starts the platform by running UIMain class 
using the currently selected JVM. In other words, it is not running soon to be implemented
eclipse.exe. Consequences:

1) When PDE users start Eclipse instance to test or debug the code they are developing
in design-time Eclipse instance, they will not get anything provided by eclipse.exe.
I don't know what it is (so far I know it might be the splash screen).

2) If there is any secret handshake between eclipse.exe and the platform UI, the platform
should be ready to NOT receive when PDE launches UIMain directly. If it only 
boils down to the splashscreen, the platform should have an option to raise 
this splashscreen on its own.

I don't know about other possible consequences of PDE's running of UIMain instead
of eclipse.exe, so please fill in the blanks.

	The UI is not going to be displaying the splash screen any more. Showing the splash 
	screen is moving to eclipse.exe and product configuration level. Product.ini is also 
	moving out of the ui plugin as well.

		Basically, all that eclipse.exe does is run java with a particular set of arguments.
		As long as PDE is prepared to provide those arguments, there should be no problem.
		I suggest DG talk to JMcA about what those arguments should be.
