Eclipse does have per-user configuration, at $HOME/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_$version_$id/configuration/ ; however, I don't know if that particular setting can be changed there.

It seems to me that such a setting will increasingly be modified by end-users, and thus should be configurable from a file such as ~/.eclipse/eclipse.ini (i.e., in the user's home directory). This would make it behave the same way as most linux programs out there. Is there some reason that this isn't done? Reading the bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/43162, comment #5 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/43162/comments/5) states that they've very recently (a few days ago) moved the eclipse.ini to be in /etc. Again, this doesn't seem to fit the common model of having configuration be overrideable by a file in the user's home directory.
