Description Ankur Sharma CLA 2010-05-26 16:27:44 EDT 
1. Create a plug-in project using Hello RCP template. Do not select 'Add branding' checkbox.
2. Run the app and verify the RCP window appears. (This step is just to create the run config)
3. Create a Product Definition for this app in the same plug-in.
4. Create a new Product using Product Definition section on Overview page.
5. Export the app using this product definition.

Run the app from outside Eclipse. It throws Exceptions which can be found in log files in the configuration folder.

The app runs fine if the branding was selected during project creation.

If this bug is correct, then RCP cheatsheet will need rework too.

If you created the product definition from the existing launch configuration, you are probably seeing bug 278598. On the "Launching" tab, check your Program arguments... if they include variables like ${os}, this will not work. 

I was able to define a product and had the exported product launch with no errors once I corrected the program arguments.

i.e the product definition Launching tab.
