Which version of Eclipse are you using?
Are you sure that the plug-ins you're dropping into your RCP prototype
application has the necessary dependencies installed for those plug-ins
to work? It could be that the other environment has the correct
dependencies and your prototype doesn't.
Launch your application with -console to get the OSGi console and do
some investigation.

Hi Chris,
The console helped a lot. The plugin I was adding to my plugins folder
required some other plugins which were not in my Run
configurations->Plugins->Target Platform (i.e they were not checked
there). Once I did select all and ran my app, it picked the dropped
plugins.
While exporting the product (from .product), in configuration tab,
initially I was doing only "Add required plugin-ins" which added only the
plugins which my app required. But, the third party plugin, required
another eclipse core plugin which my app was not using. Once, I added all
the core plugins in my configuration tab and exported the product, it
picked the third party plugins fine.
So, my question is should we always include all the core eclipse plugins
in our product (even though our product does not use it)? How can we make
sure that we have all plugins used by the third party plugin.
Thanks,
- Raja.
