Create a new configuration for your Application
To create a product we need a product configuration. The configuration is used for exporting and creating your application.
Right click on your project and select 'New' -> 'Product Configuration'
Give your product configuration file a name. In our case will be 'cs.ecl.simpleRCP.product'
Open the file we just created and select the 'Overview' tab. Lets fill in the same names for our configuration.
Press 'New' in the 'Product Definition' part and select the application of your plugin 'cs.ecl.simpleRCP.product'.
Now our product definition should be filled out.
Dependencies
For our example we will use a product definition based on plugins and not features.
Switch to the 'Dependencies' Tab and select 'Add'. Select the plugin 'cs.ecl.simpleRCP.product'. Press 'Add Required Plug-ins' and save.
Launching our product
In the overview tab press synchronize and then press 'Launch an Eclipse application'. Synchronize will align your product configuration with the launch configuration.
