Eclipse RCP: No application id has been found

I'm attempting to create an Eclipse RCP application for the first time and so am following the Vogella tutorial here: http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipseRCP/article.html

Per the steps I've created a new Eclipse 4 Application Project using all the default settings, yet when I click on "Launch an Eclipse application" I get an exception. In the error log it lists multiple bundles that could not be resolved and then at the end of the log there is a RuntimeException: No application id has been found.

I have not varied at all from the steps listed in the tutorial/defaults. Any ideas what's going on here?

This may be the result of using a different version of eclipse (not sure). I hadf the same error. When I tried to alter the run config as described, I found no button, checkbox or anything else that stated "Add required plug-ins". What I did find, however, was a drop down list at the top of the plug-ins tab.

Launch with:

  1. all workspace and enabled target plug-ins
  2. plug-ins selected below only
  3. features selected below only

Mine was set to option 2. I switched to option 1 and clicked "Apply". The error went away, though the resulting RCP window didn't contain the expected list... but I suspect that's another problem altogether.
