Have to manually start org.eclipse.runtime in product [message #495580]

I had a problem with running my exported RCP app, getting the "Ensure that the org.eclipse.core.runtime bundle is resolved and started" error. I found out that adding org.eclipse.runtime in the Configuration tab in my product fixed this, but I've never had to add this on my other applications. Does anyone have an idea what's causing Eclipse not to automatically start this plugin?

It is likely to be a build-time thing, PDE/Build normally generates
config info for you to automatically start org.eclipse.core.runtime.
However, there are cases where this doesn't happen:

1) if you provide your own config.ini
2) if you are exporting with metadata and your .product file specifies
some start levels. Here, if you specify some start levels, you will
need to specify all of the required ones.

Thanks, but in my product configuration file, I haven't defined any start levels, and "Generate a default config.ini file" is selected. Could something else be causing it?
