Folks,
I'm sorry to bother you, but I've spent five days on this problem and
can't get it to work. The books I have relate to Eclipse 3.0, and it
seems this aspect of Eclipse was changed significantly in 3.1.2. The best
info I could find was the on-line rcp tutorial, which I tried to follow -
but no success.
I've created a plug-in that works beautifully. It is branded via the
plugin.xml file. I then created a feature, and then in the plugin project
I created a feature-based product, defining a new product named
pluginproduct. Synch and run the feature-based product gave the following
results.

The above error is trying to tell you that your plug-in "mschmit.pgclient"
could not be resolved because it requires the plug-ins
"org.eclipse.ui.intro" and "org.eclipse.help.base" that the system could
not find. For help to work you need to add a few more dependencies. Here
is the list from one of my help plug-ins:
org.eclipse.help,
org.apache.ant,
org.apache.lucene,
org.eclipse.help.appserver,
org.eclipse.help.base,
org.eclipse.help.ui,
org.eclipse.help.webapp,
org.eclipse.tomcat,
org.eclipse.ui,
org.eclipse.ui.intro
In my case I have a .product (I am not sure if that is what you are using)
file that defines my product by features (one feature for a common library
that I share between apps, one for a thrid party library I am using, one
for the application, one for the database used by the application and one
for the rcp plug-ins I use). I created a org.eclipse.rcp.more_feature
that includes the org.eclipse.rcp feature and the additional plug-ins I
need that are not part of the rcp SDK distribution.
Here is my suggestion. Get your self back to where you have a working
application and a feature that includes it. Create a new feature called
org.eclipse.rcp.more_feature and include the above plug-ins in it and on
the included features tab add org.eclipse.rcp. Now you should have a
feature that includes your plug-in and a feature that includes all the
eclipse plug-ins you need. Now create a new .product file (in case you
have not done this before File | New | Other... choose "Plug-in
Development/Product Configuration"). On the overview page you should be
able to create a new product using the "New..." button and select your
application plug-in, create a product ID and select the application from
the drop down. On the configuration tab add the two features needed -
your application's feature and the org.eclipse.rcp.more_feature you
created above. Then it should launch after performing a synchronize on
the overview tab.
I hope that helps,
Ian

That moves things in the right direction! Using your advice, my .product
now runs after synch within Eclipse but won't run when exported. I do
like the idea of having a separate feature for the Eclipse plugins. I'll
keep plugging away. Thanks so much for the ideas.
