[eclipse-dev] RCP: How to launch your target Eclipse

[Nick Edgar <Nick_Edgar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

With the latest changes in HEAD, you now need to specify the application 
when running your target eclipse from your host eclipse.
In your Run-time Workbench launch configuration, add the following to the 
Program Arguments field: 
-application org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench

Once we are running on a successful build including the RCP changes, this 
will not be necessary.

Technical details:
- the PDE launcher obtains the application id from the install.ini of your 
host eclipse
- in pre-RCP builds, this is org.eclipse.ui.workbench
- in post-RCP builds, this will be org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench

So if your host is a pre-RCP build, but you have the RCP changes loaded 
from HEAD, then you need to specify -application 
org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench
