Eclipse RCP - feature only present in about dialog after product export, not when executed in IDE


I am working on the about-dialog of my Eclipse RCP Applicaiton.

The features, which I am using (native platform features and my own) only show up, when I do an export from Eclipse.

When I run my product in the IDE - the about dialog stays empty. The feature icons do not show up.

Question: Where is the problem?

About dialog, when the product was exported:

About dialog, when the product is started inside of the IDE:

Solution

  • Although unexpected, I think that's normal. I see the same behavior in my RCP application.
