Description Nick Edgar CLA 2004-10-15 09:58:19 EDT 
build I20041013

- create a new Eclipse Application launch config
- do the usual dance for selecting the plugin(s) for an RCP app and their
prerequisites in the Plug-ins tab
- forget to change the application or product
- launch
- it fails because it can't find the ide application (it's not included in the
selected plug-ins)
- the log kindly informs you of the valid application extensions, and the ide is
not one of them

It would be nice if the launch config dialog complained first.

Either it should limit the product list and application list to those available
from the selected plug-ins, or it should show an error, disabling the Run/Debug
button if an invalid product or application is selected.

If validate plug-ins automatically before launching is selected you will be warned.  Closing as WORKSFORME.
