Description Tod Creasey CLA 2011-09-19 13:02:49 EDT 
In 3.6.2 it is possible to launch a product using the product editor. In 3.7.0 when I use the same editor to launch it creates a generic Eclipse Application launch and requires me to hand configure my launch

STEPS
1) Open a .product file
2) Select launch an Eclipse application under the testing tab
3) You will get a launch with all workspace plug-ins enabled
Comment 1 Curtis Windatt CLA 2012-11-08 14:11:51 EST 
The launch configuration that is created should only include plug-ins from your product configuration.  However, any further customizing of the launch configuration will not reflect back on the product configuration.

Marking as a dupe of Bug 326059 where there is a discussion on the relationship between product configs and launch configs.
