What is the big difference between launching Equinox via java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.6.0.v20100517.jar and using org.eclipse.equinox.launcher (basically, java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar)?

I suppose that org.eclipse.equinox.launcher provides some added value, but what exactly?

A: 

equinox.launcher processes special arguments before starting osgi framework. If you want to know more, the best way is reading the source code of equinox.launcher.
