This is my first email to the list, so let me start by saying thanks
for all the work so far! e4 looks amazing and I'm really excited to
start using it. But of course, I now have questions and requests...
Looking at the sample applications (and the tutorial created by Lars
Vogel), it seems that they all reference the same application extension:
org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt.application
Is this just a temporary solution or an actual requirement for e4?
The reason I ask is that I am interested in using the OSGi Application
Admin Service with RCP applications. This service would require that
every RCP app have a separate application id. If anyone is wondering
what this would actually mean, the app admin service allows you to
start an Eclipse application inside of a running OSGi server. This
would allow you to, for instance, launch an RCP tool that could
administer an OSGi-based ESB in-container.

BTW, this does not work with 3.5 RCP apps because of the PlatformUI
singleton which cannot utilize a shared Display instance. I'm curious
whether this problem would go away with e4.
Thanks!,
