Your recollection is correct. Today the launcher reads the user configuration 
and then merges the based configuration, whereas the EclipseStarter only reads 
the user configuration.
The reason I’m looking into this is because I need to change the EclipseStarter 
logic to bypass the reading of the config.ini when the base has changed (which 
I can do easily since the heavy lifting is done in the launcher) but I wanted 
to be sure that not loading any properties in the FrameworkProperties would not 
be an issue.

Now that you mention that I am not sure what is expected to happen with the 
shared configuration and the config.ini files.  I guess it should read the 
users configuration and then merge in the parent configuration, or is it the 
other way around?  If I recall correctly the launcher does do cascade reading 
of the shared configurations, but I am unsure if the user's configuration 
overrides the parents or not.

At any rate, for shared configurations I think we depend on the launcher to do 
the merging of the cascaded configurations.

Thanks for the pointer Tom. I’ve looked at the code and I’m a bit surprise to 
see that this code is not handling shared configuration. Is that expected or am 
I missing something obvious?

Thx

If the framework is launched with EclipseStarter (which the launcher uses) then 
yes it does [1].
