Should the -feature option work in m8? We wrap start eclipse with a
wrapper executable via _texecvp().

The command line is

eclipse -data <dir> -feature <feature-name> ...

This worked okay in Eclipse 2.0. But seems to be somewhat broken in
Eclipse 3.0 (m7). The wrong splash screen comes up. The initial
perspective isn't correct.

Is this feature supported in Eclipse 3.0. Should we be able to set the
perspective programatically?

I see that in m8 there are new features for getting going - the
introduction page. Is -feature compatible with this?

Modify eclipse/configuration/config.ini so that eclipse.product is the
feature id you want.
Alternatively, pass -Declipse.product=your_feature_id when launching.
