Thanks Steve.

Were you able to create a product from your base RCP feature and 
successfully export and run it?

I have created a feature that refers to one plugin that defines a base RCP 
app (just hooks into software update and help -- no views, no editors).  

When I create a product based on the FEATURE and export it, I get an error 
when I try to run the RCP app because it can't find my application class.  
However, if I start with the PLUGIN that the feature is based on, I can 
create a product, export it, and it runs fine.  What could I be doing 
wrong?

Also, when you created your base feature, did you go through the process 
of moving all the "required" plugins into the "included" list, as is 
mentioned in the post I originally referred to?

Thanks again,
