Hi all,

I've written a simple RCP application which consists of one plugin. When I
export it as a product, that plugin's binary classes (.class files) are not
included in the export. The myproduct/plugins contains all the base RCP
plugins (org.eclipse.core.*) and a DIRECTORY "myplugin.package" which does
not contain class files. As a result, when I launch the executable I get an
error:

org.osgi.framework.BundleException: The activator myplugin.package.Activator
for bundle myplugin.package is invalid.

which is:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: myplugin.package.Activator

Ironically, I can run the application from within the IDE both as a product
(when I click on the Launch link in the overview tab of my .product file)
as well as using an Eclipse Application.

I went to the build tab of my manifest.mf and included the "bin" folder of
my plygin to the export, but still no luck. Any idea what gives?

I figured it out. It's not my fault actually, I was hit by bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=108781

I'm using the work-around suggested in the bug report.
