eclipse.ini file not present on Mac

The file should be found at Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse.ini

For example: /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS

Alternatively it might be found instead at Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/eclipse.ini (Both possibilities are noted in different parts of the wiki documentation, and it may be that /Eclipse/ is used for newer versions.)
