The Eclipse RCP - 3 - Launching configuration

A Launch configuration in Eclipse defines the environment under which your application will be started, e.g. compiler flag, plug-in (classpath) dependencies etc.
Select your plugin.xml -> Run As -> Run Configurations
On the tab Arguments you should add the parameter -consoleLog. This will send error message of your Eclipse RCP application to your Eclipse development IDE.
On the Arguments tab, you will find also the -os -ws -arch -nl arguments associated with ${target} variables, they can be edited form Window -> Preferences -> Plug-in Development -> Target Platform
On the Plug-ins Tab select "Validate plug-ins prior to launching". This will check if you have all required plug-ins in your launch configuration.
