Eclipse RCP test run ok but the exported product was unable to open: Application could not be found in the registry

by

I have a 3.x eclipse RCP product, when I click the Lauch as an eclipse application link at the overview tab of my product file, it went well. But when I export the product, the exe file cannot open, and the log is as follows, where xx is my application name.

!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2023-10-06 19:11:32.055
!MESSAGE Application error
!STACK 1
java.lang.RuntimeException: Application "**xx**" could not be found in the registry. The applications available are: org.eclipse.equinox.app.error.

I followed this tutorial https://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseProductDeployment/article.html#deployment-of-your-application. Accordingly, the solution to a similar problem(Application ID could not be found) is that I should change the start level of org.eclipse.core.runtime to 1. I did so, but then the log information turned into something about the 3.15 version of org.eclipse.equinox.common requirement cannot be satisfied, so the org.eclipse.core.runtime cannot be resolved. So I guess this solution to my original question is inappropriate. How can I fix this problem?
Thank you.

  • There are usually five entries in the Start Levels – use the “Add Recommended” button on Configuration tab of the .product file editor to set the correct levels.
