Solution

  • Product myapp.product could not be found is the key message here - your exported product doesn't seem to contain your product definition (perhaps the plugin is missing). The crash is caused because the product couldn't be found.

    Make sure that your xxx.product file contains all your plugins plus all the Eclipse RCP plugins that they depend on (you can use the 'Add Required' button to work this out).
