Rolf,
Indeed if I look at the two executables in the following:
https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.12/R-4.12-201906051800/binary/org.eclipse.platform.sdk.executable.win32.win32.x86_64_4.12.0.I20190605-1800
They do not show signature properties when extracted, so p2 installing
these (p2 director via the installer or via p2 update) would not produce
something with a signature in would appear.
I would have expected this file to contain two signed executables, but
that appears, as you suggest, not to be the case. :-(
I asked Dani just now, and he also expected these would be signed...

First of all, the properties of the executable show it very clearly.
Second, https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=509799#c4 this

eclipse.exe properties from Eclipse IDE for Java Developers Package
Eclipse properties for product installed via oomph.

Rolf,
I don't believe what you suggest is the case. The eclipse.exe in the
p2 repository, like all the artifacts in the repository, is
signed. Otherwise, if one did an update and the executable needed
to be updated, it would be updated with an unsigned version, which
would not be acceptable. What makes you think/assume that these are
not signed?

Hi,
I came across the bug below. What triggered me from the comments on
Bug 509799 is, that the 'eclipse.exe' is apparently signed as part
of the EPP build. As we are pushing Eclipse-Installer now, many
installations contain a 'eclipse.exe' that is not signed.
So maybe the problem is not how to let Microsoft trust the Eclipse
Signature, but more how to *ensure that the 'eclipse.exe' is signed
on all installations*.

Unfortunately a no-go. Gave it a try and despite taking 1.5
minutes to run the command line, it still took the full first scan
after running the exe that had already been scanned.
It seems we'd need some guidance from Microsoft in how to get
some/all of Eclipse whitelisted in their Security Intelligence.
Perhaps at least major releases can have their Jars registered...
C:\Users\tim>"%programfiles%\Windows Defender\mpcmdrun"
-AddDynamicSignature ...
You need administrator privilege to execute this command.
Perhaps there is a way we can register the signature and have the
Eclipse Installer ask the user for permissions to invoke
registering the Eclipse Signature as an approved certificate?

Can you make one of the affected persons try running this

"%programfiles%\Windows Defender\mpcmdrun" -scan -file

If that helps, we could potentially add this to the installer
(but not
the ZIPs, of course), in the hope Defender afterwards remembers it
already scanned the installation. However, I have no experience
with the
above, I just googled around for cmd line interaction with
defender.
There are also more options (like different scan types), not
sure if
that makes an additional difference.
Another potential issue to check: Windows marks downloaded files
automatically as "unsafe". See
https://www.howtogeek.com/70012/what-causes-the-file-downloaded-from-the-internet-warning-and-how-can-i-easily-remove-it/
for an instruction of how to remove that marker from many
files. I'm not
sure if this really has any relation with Windows defender scans, I
think it only triggers the "Do you really want to..." popup.
That all being said, at our company we have given up to find
something
better than filters as workaround. With TrendMicro Antivirus on
access
scanning being active, every git operation inside eclipse is
about 10
times slower than with eclipse filtered from the scan.
Ciao, Michael
