Thank you Sumit!

I followed the instructions from the first link exactly but the UI as defined in the Application.e4xmi does not appear, only an empty window. So i started the live editor but it opened the Legacye.e4xmi instead of my Application.e4xmi. My applicationXMI property points to the right file. Do you know what's wrong here ?

Thanks in advance!

but it opened the Legacye.e4xmi instead of my Application.e4xmi --> that part i'm unable to understand because for your RCP there should only one "Application.e4xmi" you can rename it to "Legacye.e4xmi" that you have to map in your plugin.xml .

Can you check in your RCP extension point is only single "org.eclipse.core.runtime.products" extension is there or multiple is more then one is present then can you delete other then right one.

Such an extension exists just once in my plugin.xml. It seems like my Eclipse Installation and/or the workspace is broken because it worked without any problem on another PC an it worked once in a new workspace on my pc with the same eclipse installation. Probably it#s the best to reinstall eclipse and try it in a new workspace right ?

Finally i could narrow down where the error lies and fix it Smile . It wasn't located in my Eclipse installation but it was located in the runtime-workspace or in the workspace where the project was created. I did built a new workspace in a new folder, imported the project and voila everything worked like it should. Probably the error occured because the runtime-workspace was corrupted, simply moving the project in a new workspace in the same directory didn't help. On the other hand i couldn't fix the error by deleting the runtime-workspace manually ...

in your run configuration did you set the Clear flag on the Main tab in your Run configuration or add the -clearPersistedState parameter for your product configuration file or Run configuration...?
