[eclipse-dev] Virus detected in launcher.exe?

[Carsten Reckord <reckord@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi everybody,

I hope this is just a false positive, but with the latest platform milestone
build, Windows Defender complains about the 32-bit launcher.exe shipped with
org.eclipse.equinox.executable. It is detected as "Trojan:Win32/Repjexi".

The following files are concerned (with md5):

org.eclipse.equinox.executable_root.win32.win32.x86_3.6.100.v20150127-1814
md5: c569db1298814ee84795fc830826da21
contained file: launcher.exe

org.eclipse.equinox.executable_3.6.100.v20150127-1814.jar
md5: f5f22c477f02876671a50b4c1a38187e
contained file: bin/win32/win32/x86/launcher.exe

I verified that these are the original bits coming from the Eclipse servers,
not some poisoned mirror.

Best,
Carsten
