Thats true :) But it could use preferences anyway. Otherwise there are 
so many places where you can put configuration values. For UDC it has to 
be a system property for other parts of Eclipse its preferences. Just 
hard to remember. I will open a bug to at least consider the preference 
value as the default that can be overwritten using a command line 
property (aka System property). What you think?
