[news.eclipse.platform] can't start deployed plugin

[jason henriksen <jason.henriksen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I'm desperate for help here.  I've spent two days trying to solve this 
and I've done nothing but look stupid.  I've got a plugin that works 
beautifully when I run it in the eclipse debugger.  I export the plugin, 
install it into my main eclipse environment and it works fine.

But for everyone else it crashes before it even gets to my code with a 
ClassNotFound exception.  My code is dependent on the JDT plugins and 
but nothing I have been able to find let's me make those classes 
available to me.

Some details:
- Running RAD 7.0.0.5 based on eclipse 3.2
- I can see that the jdt stuff is loaded in the Help | About | Plugins
- This works on my build even as a deployed plugin but doesn't work on 
any of my team mate's computers
- I have the following in my features/feature.xml:
  <requires>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.ui"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.core.runtime"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.ui.forms"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.ui.console"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.core.filesystem"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.core.resources"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.core.filebuffers"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.compare"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.jdt.core"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.text"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.jdt"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.jdt.core.manipulation"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.jdt.apt.ui"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.jdt.debug"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.jdt.ui"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.jdt.junit"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.jdt.junit.runtime"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.jdt.junit4.runtime"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.jdt.launching"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.jst.common.frameworks"/>
      <import plugin="org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.ui"/>
   </requires>

I have all this in my MANIFEST.MF from my plugin

Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: global
Bundle-Localization: plugin
Require-Bundle: org.eclipse.ui,
 org.eclipse.core.runtime,
 org.eclipse.ui.forms,
 org.eclipse.ui.console,
 org.eclipse.core.filesystem,
 org.eclipse.core.resources,
 org.eclipse.core.filebuffers,
 org.eclipse.compare,
 org.eclipse.jdt.core,
 org.eclipse.text,
 org.eclipse.jdt,
 org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core,
 org.eclipse.jdt.core.manipulation

I end up with this exception before my code even gets started:
