Options on projects are using Map, but JavaCore uses Hashtable
For that I can use this in a generic way, could you change
to JavaCore.setOptions(Map). This shouldn't be breaking, no?

Unfortunately, Hashtables were a bad idea to start with. We didn't persist in 
that direction with newest APIs. We cannot change the original one since it 
would cause a binary signature incompatibility for existing clients...

Sorry...

Closing

What about adding new API and deprecate the old one?
Or change to new one to Hashttable; I think inconsistency is worse.
