This property is used in the splash screen and in the About Dialog. I
couldn't find the place where it is set. Any clues?

I found it in configuration/config.ini in a stock Eclipse platform
download.

Yes, Its taken from here and loaded into System properties. I'm looking
for the code which does this. Could it be p2?

p2 doesn't know what that property is, but it is getting set by p2
because the SDK defines it in the metadata.

The SDK is build using a .product file which contains
<configurations>
...
<property name="eclipse.buildId" value="@qualifier@"/>
</configurations>
Where the @qualifier@ gets replaced at build time. This results in the
property being generated into the p2 metadata and p2 writing it in the
config.ini at install time.
