Re: [e4-dev] Nullpointerexception when launching a clean e4application p

[Brian de Alwis <briandealwis@xxxxxxxxx>]

The real problem here is that the e4 application project wizard generates broken examples.  The product file should have .ds and .event.

There was a thread on this in p2-dev and equinox-dev in April:

	http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/equinox-dev/msg06177.html

The conclusion was: don't declare a dependency.  But you might be able to add some p2.inf magic to a feature to cause .ds to be started.  I haven't the faintest idea how to do this though.
