Hi,

this message is to help people currently looking to fix the same I was
trying to fix for now about 2 hours :(

I'm currently writing an application based on Eclipse RCP.

I wanted to use GEF in my app, so I added the GEF plug-ins in my
<requires> section of plugin.xml, but this prevented my application to
start. As you'll understand the real problem is not GEF specific, and
could potentially happen with any other eclipse plugin.

The error message in .log was: !MESSAGE Unable to locate application
extension:

As I saw on this newsgroup, this error message actually means that a
plug-in is missing.

Actually, plugins where missing, and those plug-ins where needed because
they were dependencies of dependencies of GEF ...

so I had to open every plugin.xml of every plugin listed in the
<requires> tag of GEF's plugin.xml to find missing plugins to import...

More time-effective solutions are welcome !

Thanks in advance,

Olivier

Right click on your RCP project and select PDE Tools > Open Dependencies.
I've also entered an enhancement request for something better - you can
cc/vote for:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=49591

Also, M7 will include a nicer error message when a plug-in is missing.
