I don't hold Oracle at fault at all, but I find it funny that rather than tie to the VM identifier the Eclipse developers thought that using the Company Name (a Windows only field btw) would be a good way to identify the VM.

What I DO find even more amusing, and something I think is a mistake, is that Oracle rolled back the change to the JVM after Eclipse complained that they were broke.
