Optionally Required

Ever wondered what the error message Missing optionally required bundle means?
!SUBENTRY 2 org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui 2 0 2007-01-02 16:42:41.082 !MESSAGE Missing optionally required bundle org.eclipse.ui.ide_[3.2.0,4.0.0).


Eclipse tries to tell you that the bundle org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui can make use of org.eclipse.ui.ide, but it is not strictly necessary for emf.edit.ui to work. In fact, emf.edit.ui uses services from ui.ide if they are existant. If not, it just doesn't use them.

The error message in the /configuration/.log is not an error message, but more an informative level message.

So, if your RCP application doesn't start and you find this message in the .log file, you can safely ignore it and focus on resolving the other messages first.
