[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: Product Configuration: Plugin out of syn

[Haju Schulz <haju_schulz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I faced the same problem using Eclipse 3.2. It looks like something is
wrong with the product editor there. I worked around it by manually
inserting the application id into the product file. 

Here are the details of what I did:

1. Close the product editor
2. Right click your product file and select "Open With " >  "Text Editor"
3. Enter your application id manually at application="..."
   The application id can be taken from the plugin.xml application
   extension point. It is typically called something like
   xx.yy.zz.application
4. Save the product file then open it again with the Eclipse editor
   "Open With" > "Product Configuration Editor"
   Ensure that the Application Field shows the id you entered
5. Switch to the "Configuration" tab of the product editor
6. Add your plugin to the plugin list by using the "Add" button
7. Click "Add  Required Plug-ins"
8. Save the product file by pressing Ctrl-S
9. Go back to the "Overview" tab and press "Launch the product"

Only steps 2-4 are the workaround. The rest are normal product
configuration steps.

Good luck,
