Description
For awhile Gumtree was using the root file mechanism to store configuration (*.ini) to launch Gumtree (http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/tasks/pde_rootfiles.htm).
It has become increasingly difficult to continue this way, because we need six times more artifacts to manage if we support 32/64-bit Windows, Linux and Mac.
Another way to manage configuration is via the PDE .ini modification mechanism, see:
