i hope i solved all my plugin and dependency issues for my RCP application. I hope it is my last issue, so currently if have the effect that my lifecyclemanager is not runing in the build RCP application. I have several user permissions and i defined all views in my Application.e4xmi as invisible.
What i do in my lifecyclemanager: - open an Logindialog - after successful login load my user data - set all views visible for the defined user permissions
So currently my RCP started but it is a blank window.
I already insert logmessages into the lifecyclemanager and these are not shown in the log. I found an eclipse bug regarding this exception message but i didn't find a solution for it and the eclipse bug is already set to "Resolved Fixed".
These are the exceptions in the build RCP application log:

You say you are getting 'option -bootclasspath not supported at compliance level 9 and above' in the logs.zip for your plugins. This is Eclipse bug 525280. Eclipse PDE build (which you are using) is broken for Java version 9 and above. There does not seem to be any prospect of this being fixed since PDE is no longer being developed.
Either back up to Java 8 or switch to using Maven with Eclipse Tycho to do the builds.
