Could the originator of the problem open a bug at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=E4&component=UI.
The wizard doesn't contain enough plugins to launch, and you can best
describe what plugins you had to add (ds, events, make sure the
renderer plugin is available).

If .ds is included in the product spec, I don't believe you need a
special step to start it as PDE already includes the magic when it
creates an Eclipse launch config.
But if a p2.inf is necessary, we can create one.
