Hi,

Right now there is (still) no decent support for restarting an eclipse
rcp application with different parameters, in particular starting a
client with another locale and keeping that locale in future startup,
one has to programmatically edit config.ini for that or some other trick.
Now it has been suggested in this bug
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=75320
that the new provision might give some help in this issue.

there is no such option currently. We may well end up with something that
allows you to programatically edit the config.ini and eclipse.ini files
as part
of the new provisioning work. If that were to happen then you would be
able to
change the configuration to use a particular locale but not just for the
next
run, rather for all subsequent runs.

"

Has this feature been considered for implementation?

We now have programmatic API to modify config.ini and eclipse.ini which
therefore could give you the ability to write a preference page for your
user to change the locale.
See the org.eclipse.equinox.frameworkadmin bundle.
