Solved... After thinking about it and also talking to Greg I realized that my base Eclipse had the old "Parallel Tools Platform (PTP) End-User Runtime" package installed and I wondered if it was causing a conflict. Note: I had installed this package based upon our Development Environment Setup instructions on our Wiki [http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/environment_setup_70]. So I created a fresh Eclipse Kepler install and did not install the "Parallel Tools Platform (PTP) End-User Runtime" package". Then in the target Eclipse when I executed my scenario above I no longer got the ClassNotFoundException for LaunchConfigurationTab. As a result I have updated the Wiki with the following: "Note: If you get a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException for org.eclipse.ptp.launch.ui.LaunchConfigurationTab in your target Eclipse do not install this package (B.
