I get an error when I try to launch my "Product Configuration" created in
eclipse Helios on windows 7! I have tried to follow the below guides:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_create_an_Eclipse_produ ct%3F
http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseRCP/article.html#produ ct_launch

but I still get an error. Here is what I do:

1) I have created a Plugin Project "test.pde" with Eclipse as taget
platform using the "Hello, World Command" template.

2) Next I have created a new Product Configuration and put it in the
"test.pde" project.

3) On the overview page in the "Product Definition" section I have selected
"New..." and selected the previous plugin as "product" and kept the
"org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner" as the "Product Application". As a result
the "org.eclipse.core.runtime.products" extension is added to the "test.pde"
plugin MANIFEST file. I have updated the ID to "test.pde".

4) On the Dependencies pane I have added the "test.pde" plugin and clicked
"Add Required Plug-ins". Then I have added the "org.eclipse.ant.core" plugin
and clicked the "Add Required Plug-ins" again.

5) I then click "Launch an Eclipse application" but get the following error:

I am pretty stuck at this point any ideas on what I do wrong?
