org.jboss.tools.runtime.ui.prefs mysteriously appears in Eclipse dir during JBDS BYOE installation

      When I install JBDs 9.0.0.Alpha2 B24 BYOE into new Eclipse Mars M6 and new workspace, during the installation, suddenly the runtime detection config appears inside my Eclipse isntall dir:

      $ find Eclipse-runtime-test.app/ -name 'org.jboss.tools.runtime.*.prefs'
      Eclipse-runtime-test.app//Contents/Eclipse/configuration/.settings/org.jboss.tools.runtime.ui.prefs
      

      This is inside the file:

      $ find Eclipse-runtime-test.app/ -name 'org.jboss.tools.runtime.*.prefs'|xargs cat
      eclipse.preferences.version=1
      runtimePaths=<?xml version\="1.0" encoding\="UTF-8" standalone\="no"?>\n<runtimePaths version\="2">\n  <runtimePath path\="/Users/rasp/jbossqa/runtimes/jboss-eap-6.3.0" scanOnEveryStartup\="false" timestamp\="-1">\n    <serverDefinitions>\n      <serverDefinition description\="" enabled\="true" location\="/Users/rasp/jbossqa/runtimes/jboss-eap-6.3.0" name\="JBoss EAP 6.3" type\="EAP" version\="6.3">\n        <included/>\n      </serverDefinition>\n    </serverDefinitions>\n  </runtimePath>\n</runtimePaths>\n
      

      It contains /Users/rasp/jbossqa/runtimes/jboss-eap-6.3.0 which I use regularly when testing server tooling. But how did this happen?

      I looked for the pref file before I started BYOE installation. Then a bit later, a few minutes into the installation, I checked again and the file is there now.

      Can somebody explain what's going on?

      Note: This happened to me yesterday and it surprised me, but I wasn't sure if it wasn't my mistake somehow. But Max preferred I try again, so I did. And it is happening again now.
