The main use case is that when Eclipse is deployed via an external mechanism, and so are additional features, running Eclipse as root changes p2 metadata and Eclipse configuration area, and its checksum are invalidated. Also, when an administrator changes the installation using P2, RPM stops working - it is impossible to assure (to a reasonable level) that any further P2 operations will succeed. What's more, running a pluggable IDE as an administrator does not seem to be a wise choice. Hence my idea of adding an additional safeguard and making launching Eclipse as root a bit more difficult. Is there any chance this patch will be released?
