Eclipse on MacOS

By default, runtime instances of Eclipse will start with large fonts. To get rid of this behaviour, just add -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts to the VM arguments of the respective launch configuration.

I guess it might be a good idea if PDE UI could transparently add this parameter to Eclipse launch configurations - I opened a bug to get this fixed.
