Property of RCP product disappears [message #1745462]

I created a product of my RCP-Plugin-project. In my RCP-Plugin-project I have implemented an own perspective for my plugin to start with. Running my plugin as `application`, everything works fine and I can see my perspective.

To set my perspective as default I have added a 'property' `preferenceCustomization` to the `plugin.xml` of my product. The code of related `plugin_customization.ini` is the following:

org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_PROGRESS_ON_STARTUP = false
org.eclipse.ui/defaultPerspectiveId=de.cau.cs.bdd.perspective

The `plugin.xml` of the application and the `plugin.xml` of the product you find in the attachement.

Oddly enough launching my product I obtain an empty eclipse-window and the property `preferenceCustomization` has disappeared.

Does anybody know why this could happen? And how to fix it?

Is your RCP application based on features or plugins? And could you also upload your product definition? Smile

Can you also verify that your build.properties includes the plugin_customization.ini?

My RCP Application is based on plugins and the 'plugin_customization'-file is included in 'build.properties'. The product definition you can find in the attachement. Do you have any other idea?

From what I can tell your product configuration does not have the uid field in the definition. For a more elaborate explanation of what the uid field is, see the post: https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1076343/

Let me know if it helps.

Thank you! I have added a UID as you can see in the product definition, but my implemented perspective doesn't appear. I don't know why...

You could put a breakpoint on org.eclipse.core.internal.preferences.DefaultPreferences#initializeCustomizations(): this is the method that loads and applies the specific plugin_customizations.ini file.
