In the eclipse.ini we use the pluginCustomization option to customize multiple plugins with a configuration file.

In the 3.6 version of eclipse we could automaticly install multiple java SDK's using the org.eclipse.jdt.launching.PREF_VM_XML option.

In the 4.3.2 version of Eclipse this no longer works.

A workaround is to exporting and importing the SDK's using the export preferences.

This is an example of our config file:

org.eclipse.jdt.launching.PREF_VM_XML=<?xml version\="1.0" encoding\="UTF-8" standalone\="no"?>\r\n<vmSettings defaultVM\="57,org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType13,1399981765521">\r\n<vmType id\="org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType">\r\n<vm id\="1399981765521" name\="jrockit-jdk1.6.0_29-R28.2.2-4.1.0" path\="C\:\\Program Files\\Java\\jrockit-jdk1.6.0_29-R28.2.2-4.1.0"/>\r\n</vmType>\r\n</vmSettings>\r\n

This seems to be related to this:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=459864

As far as I can see, the pluginCustomization option is broken for anything but the most simple preferences.
