Description Jeff McAffer CLA 2010-10-21 22:02:47 EDT 
currently product validation only considers included bundles and features. A feature-based product that lists a feature that in turn *requires* some other bundle will not validate even though if it were built and installed it would run (assuming the requirement is actually met in the current target).

similarly, when launching the product, required bundles/features are not added to the launch configuration.  

Basically this is a disconnect between what p2 and PDE build will do and what PDE UI allows.
