If you follow the RCP tutorial
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-RCP-1/tutorial1.html

, export the app and try to run it (see the "Running it
outside of Eclipse" section of the tutorial) on MacOSX,
the application can't run because the launcher
(Eclipse.app) is empty. To be precise, it contains the
"Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS" and
"Eclipse.app/Contents/Resources" folders, but they are
empty.

    looks explicitely for the Launcher to be in Eclipse.app at
    the same level as the plugins dir.
    With our layout this fails badly.
    Note that all exceptions are swalloed furiously which
    explains why no log is even created.

    should ship the RCP delta pack with PDE and plugin warrior,
    including the org.eclipse.launcher feature, but remove the
    dependencies
