I got a bit further reading another thread here... I can now install and 
enable the feature (there was a plugin missing from the feature that the 
 editor-plugin needed) as long as I do it with an export of my rcp-app.

I still cannot install and enable the feature when running the rcp-app 
from within eclipse :-( Which would not be that much of a problem, if 
using the installed feature would work, but it doesn't and I don't think 
that debugging the exported product is as easy as debugging it inside 
eclipse...

So any hint wether how to make this feature install work from within 
eclipse or tips on how to debug an exported product is welcome.
