Last time I was working on an Eclipse RCP application, we found it very useful 
to store a target platform definition and the platform bundles in subversion. 
That is, have a folder in subversion that contains all bundles necessary to 
start an Eclipse instance which would serve as the common platform. By opening 
the platform definition file and applying the platform definition, all 
developers were sure that they were developing on the same basis, independent 
of the version of their Eclipse IDE and the bundles installed in it.

See http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDE/Target_Definitions
