[Kevin Horowitz <khorowit@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There has been some debate on the issue.  Some want it there so that 
runtime platforms are available to any user of the eclipse installation 
or any workspace.  I, personally, agree with you and think it should be 
in the .metadata area and be relative to a users workspace.  There is a 
flag to store the data in an alternate location.  If you launch with the 
System property "user.home" set to a location, that will be used for the 
persistent store.  This was our compromise position for this release.
