Hi folks, As this has come up a few times over the past couple of years I raised Bug 568726 <https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=568726> to document osgi.dataAreaRequiresExplicitInit. If someone can review or improve the associated gerrit <https://git.eclipse.org/r/c/platform/eclipse.platform.common/+/172109> I submitted that would be great.
