If you get an error like this:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2009-06-09 23:06:24.578
!MESSAGE Application error
!STACK 1
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to acquire application service. Ensure that the org.eclipse.core.runtime bundle is resolved and started (see config.ini).

While you are trying to run an headless Eclipse like this:
<java classname=“org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main“ classpath=“${proj.root}/${internal.targetplatforms}/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar“ fork=“true“ dir=“.“ failonerror=“yes“ timeout=“7200000″ outputproperty=“__era.eclipse.output“ logerror=“true“>
<jvmarg line=“@{jvmarg}“ />
<arg line=“-data @{workspace}“ />
<arg line=“-configuration @{configuration}“ />
<arg line=“-install ${proj.root}/${internal.targetplatforms}/“ />
<arg line=“-application @{application}“ />
<args />
<sysproperties />
</java>
The solution is to provide the „-initialize“ command like this:
<java classname=“org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main“ classpath=“${proj.root}/${internal.targetplatforms}/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar“ fork=“true“ dir=“.“ failonerror=“yes“ timeout=“7200000″ outputproperty=“__era.eclipse.output“ logerror=“true“>
<jvmarg line=“@{jvmarg}“ />
<arg line=“-initialize“ />
<arg line=“-data @{workspace}“ />
<arg line=“-configuration @{configuration}“ />
<arg line=“-install ${proj.root}/${internal.targetplatforms}/“ />
<arg line=“-application @{application}“ />
<args />
<sysproperties />
