Eclipse RCP plugin error - Cannot resolve module

Question

When I try to run a eclipse product like this:

I get about 100 errors type "Could not resolve module XXXX". For example, a partial log view:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.compare 4 0 2017-07-14 11:03:53.679

I think that it's because the plugin cannot detect the needed dependencies. I have tried adding those dependencies in

Run Configurations > Plug-ins Tab > Add Required Plug-ins

like many users post, but it doesn't work properly. I mean, new dependencies are added, but the errors don't disappear.

I have also tried downloading the libraries .jar files and including them into the project, but it doesn't work properly too.

Can you help me, please?

My objetive is to generate a binary file or an executable file to run an Eclipse RCP Plugin.

Thanks! ;)

Answer 1

Maybe try adding org.eclipse.equinox.ds as a dependency. More info here
