some of the start levels and auto-start for typical eclipse RCPs are kind of "magic" to me.
you may want to check the RCP demo project
http://git.eclipse.org/c/tycho/org.eclipse.tycho-demo.git/tree/itp04-rcp/eclipse-repository
IIRC we made this work by monkey-see, monkey-do.

Subject: [tycho-user] How to build Eclipse package? (start-up problem)
Hello,
I'm trying to learn how to build a complete Eclipse packages (like what one downloads from
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/) from scratch myself using Tycho. May I ask for help here?
mvn -f mirror-pom.xml prepare-package
base/releng/com.temenos.ds.op.base.sdk.repository/target/products/com.temenos.ds.op.sdk.ide.product/linux/gtk/x86_64/eclipse
fails to start-up. configuration/*.log says "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to acquire application service. Ensure that the org.eclipse.core.runtime bundle is resolved and started (see config.ini)." I vaguely understand that
I must have somehow somewhere not told it how / what to bootstrap? Where can one learn more about this?
I CAN run the EPP builds locally and get working package, of course, but am having trouble to understand what I'm missing from there to get my example to work? Educate me!
PS: Is the org.eclipse.epp:org.eclipse.epp-parent artifact available on a public Maven repo. @eclipse.org so that one could use it as <parent> in something like what I'm trying to do?
