Both the eclipse.exe and the equinox.launcher bundle may load the native
library in launcher.<os>.<ws>.<arch>.  For example when launching
self-hosting, the eclipse.exe is not used.  In this case the
equinox.launcher java code loads the shared library.  Currently there is no
eclipse.exe bundle, that left us with the equinox.launcher bundle for the
host of the shared library fragments.  We could create an
equinox.executable host bundle but I'm not sure what the motivation would
be for that since it would be an empty host that does nothing other than
allow the native code fragment bundles to resolve.

Hello,

I'm questioning why the launcher.<os>.<ws>.<arch> bundles are fragments of
the launcher bundle?
If I remember correctly the launcher fragments result from the
reorganization of the eclipse.exe where we tried to make the exe as small
as possible. Therefore it seems to me that the declaration of the platform
specific launcher bundles as fragment of the launcher.jar (formerly
startup.jar) is abusive. However I found weird that we did without a
precise motive. Does anyone remember it?

For me, the platform specific launchers should be "fragment to the
eclipse.exe".
