I've recently upgraded my Eclipse to 2023-06. I examined my eclipse.ini which has been used for a few years and versions of Eclipse. I found two lines of oomph configuration:
```
-Doomph.update.url=http://download.eclipse.org/oomph/updates/milestone/latest
-Doomph.redirection.index.redirection=index:/->http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/plain/setups/
```

I probably previously copied them from somewhere but I currently have no recollection why I did it.

Questions:

1. What do they do?
2. Are they still necessary or useful for the newest version of Eclipse, i.e. 2023-06?
3. In general how does one learn about the existence and usage of these configuration parameters? In particular, how would one know what the right parameter values should be given?

The oomph.update.url is a variable used in some of the catalogs to determine the update site from which to install Oomph itself. If not specified, it defaults to https://download.eclipse.org/oomph/updates/latest
Any -Doomph.redirection.* options specifies to URIs separated by -> and will redirect the left-hand URI to the right-hand URI.

There is formation about such things here:

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Oomph_Authoring#Hosting_your_own_index_.2F_catalogs

I need to update that documentation because Oomph as just migrated to GitHub:

https://github.com/eclipse-oomph/oomph/issues/3

So the new value for that will be https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eclipse-oomph/oomph/master/setups/

I don't think either one is strictly needed...
