Sorry if this all seems a bit basic, but I am definitely not a newcomer to eclipse. I am, however quite new to plugin development and an absolute novice where e4 is concerned.
I decided to do a few tutes to get up to speed with RCP and e4. I've now tried 3 and get the same result each time. I go through the following steps in (various order) but cannot get anything to work.
To date, beyond creating and running the initial app, I get nowhere. I even tried using Tom Schindl's live editor without any effect.
Since these are very basic tutes and I cannot find any other references to these sorts of problems in other forums, I assume I must be doing something really stupid. Or maybe I'm just missing the point of something.
Can anyone give me a hint where I should look to get things moving forward.
Thanks in advance.
Achim

Thanks for your reply, Dirk. Your comment is very enlightening and I suspect you're right. However, I'm still uncertain as to how I can track the error down.
As for information about the project, I am not allowed to post the link (less than 5 posts, you see), but if you google "eclipse-4-final-sprint-part-1-the-e4-application-model" you will find it.
From years of Java Web development, I am in the habit of looking for run-time errors on the console. Last time I tried looking at the error log instead and found:
- one error without a message that allegedly comes from org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench
- three "Unhandled event loop exception" errors arising from org.eclipse.ui
Stack trace from the first error is in the uploaded file 20120304_stack_trace_1.txt
Stack trace from the second error is in the uploaded file 20120304_stack_trace_2.txt:
Session Data:
Quote:
eclipse.buildId=M20120914-1800
java.version=1.6.0_20
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=linux, ARCH=x86, WS=gtk, NL=en_US
Framework arguments: -product org.eclipse.epp.package.rcp.product
Command-line arguments: -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.rcp.product
I'm not sure how much all that helps. Maybe someone with a bit of time to spare and a better knowledge of e4 than me (not too difficult) could try running through that tutorial. It doesn't take long...
If it works, then a comparison of the e4xmi files might just indicate where I'm going wrong. I cannot post my e4xmi, because it contains links (that 5 posts resrtriction again). I've up loaded it as a file: 20130304_e4xmi.txt
I'm very grateful for any information anybody can give me.
Meanwhile I'm going to continue beating my brains out trying to solve this. I am living proof that, if you bang your head against a wall for long enough, the wall will crumble... as long as you don't bang it so hard that your head caves in! 
Cheers
Achim
