Bug#491334: Reopen eclipse ignores vmargs in eclipse.ini

Eclipse ignores ignores -vmargs in eclipse.ini and patch that 
incorporates ./eclipse/eclipserc is not applied.
I do not think how this patch could work since the -vmargs (and 
consequent vm options) must be the last argument on command line and 
there is no way how to inject parameters into eclipse via environment 
variables.

I propose that ./eclipse/eclipserc should be changed to  
./eclipse/eclipsevm and should contain just the vm arguments.

The  
$HOME/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_<version>_<id>/configuration/config.ini 
will be used for standalone eclipse arguments (= non vmargs).
