overall performance of Eclipse-based applications. | ||
These application can now detect if <i>Microsoft Defender</i> is active, inform you about that and if wanted | ||
can exclude itself from future <i>Microsoft Defender</i> scans. | ||
</p> | ||
<p>If <i>Microsoft Defender</i> is active, on first startup of a new installation, a dialog is shown. | ||
Depending on your choice the exclusion is performed for the running installation or the | ||
<i>Microsoft Defender</i> configuration is left untouched. | ||
In both cases the choice is persisted and it is not asked again for this installation. | ||
If you choose to cancel the dialog (by clicking "Cancel" or "Escape") the dialog is shown | ||
again on the next startup. | ||
</p> | ||
<p>In the "Windows Defender Exclusion Check" section of this preference page you get more detailed | ||
information about the <i>Microsoft Defender</i> handling, you can choose to disable the startup-check for | ||
all installations, run the exclusion check or to see the powershell script used to exclude the current | ||
installation. | ||
Clicking "Run exclusion check" opens the startup dialog regardless of all persisted preferences. | ||
Clicking the "Show Powershell script" button, unfolds the code of that script for review. | ||

||
administrator privileges. | ||
The exclusion from <i>Microsoft Defender</i> scaning is done on process level. This means that | ||
<i>Microsoft Defender</i> won't real-time scan any file opened by the excluded process. | ||
This way the performance improvement applies to all files touched by the process and not only the jars | ||
forming the application. At the same time it allows scheduled or on demand scans to still check all files. | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
In general if you do not trust the installed application, plug-ins or content in the workspace, it is not | ||
recommended to apply any exclusion. | ||
</p> | ||
<h2>Plug-Ins Activated on Startup</h2> | ||
<p>The "plug-ins activated on startup" section allows the selection of plug-ins to be automatically | ||
activated during workbench startup. Normally plug-ins are not activated until they are needed. However | ||
some plug-ins may specify that they wish to be activated during startup. This list allows the selection | ||
of which of these plug-ins will actually be activated during startup.</p> | ||

There are a few typos present in this added section. Is it too late to fix them for the 4.31 release?
