I am trying to alter my eclipse configuration, but the eclipse.ini file is not present in my eclipse installation directory.
I am on Mac os x with eclipse 4.2.1 Juno.
Did the eclipse.ini file get replaced with the config.ini in eclipse/configuration?

On MacOS X, eclipse. ini is found under $ECLIPSE_HOME/Eclipse. app/Contents/Eclipse where ECLIPSE_HOME is the installation folder of your eclipse distribution.
For windows, it's in the same directory as eclipse.exe file, as shown in below image. You can reach this location by first right clicking on Eclipse app and click on “Show Package Contents” and then in the next window navigate to Contents/Eclipse directory, as shown in below images.
Right-click or secondary click or Control-click on Eclipse App as shown on the picture. Click on "Show package contents" you can find the eclipse. ini under Contents>Eclipse folder.
ini in your Eclipse installation directory (or in the case of Mac, the Eclipse. app/Contents/MacOS directory) is used. eclipse. ini is a text file containing command-line options that are added to the command line used when Eclipse is started up.
Here is how you reach that file.
If your eclipse link is in dock. go to the link press the control key and left click and go to option and select show in finder. 
Once you see the link in finder. go to the link and press the control key and left click and select Show package Content. 
go to Contents -> MacOS -> eclipse.ini and open in your favorite text editor.

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.)
