title: Unable to acquire application service. Ensure that the org.eclipse.core.runtime bundle is resolved and started (see config.ini)
body: <p>I have been trying to use eclipse RCP to create a standalone application and I get the below error whenever I try to run the application. I tried to look into previous solutions, but I feel I'm missing something (or may be I don't understand it good enough)    </p>
