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?
