How to fix "No Application ID has been Found" error in e4 application?

Question

I have been searching for a while now and can still not find a solution to my problem. I have an e4 application that whenever I try to launch it, I get a No application id has been found error with not much more information other than that. I have tried adding required plug-ins in both the .product file as well as the run configuration, including adding the optional dependencies.

I am completely stuck trying to get this application to run, it seems to run on my co-worker's computer, but does not want to run on mine. I will paste my error log below. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

@Rishabh I do not know what is happening, becuase I am trying to run the application from that exact file — MZimmerman6, Jan 21 '16 at 19:15
May be you should not directly add the file into workspace. It will be better to replicate the project structure and create classes. — Rishabh, Jan 21 '16 at 19:17
@Rishabh I am not entirely sure I follow what you mean, could you please explain a bit more — MZimmerman6, Jan 21 '16 at 19:19
The .product file is not what defines the product id. Show us the plugin.xml for your RCP plugin. — greg-449, Jan 21 '16 at 19:26
@greg-449 Well this is part of a much larger project that is being interfaced with. We are setting up an "ExampleApp" to test some functionality. But yes, it is an entire eclipse project in itself. — MZimmerman6, Jan 21 '16 at 19:37

Your MANIFEST.MF says the plugin id ('Bundle-SymbolicName') is CyAMSApp, so the product id declared by the plugin.xml is CyAMSApp.product.

Change the 'Bundle-SymbolicName' to be 'ExampleApp' or change the references to the product id to be 'CyAMSApp.product'.

These two files must be compared from the other environment where it is working you try checking the files existence first and if they exist then check the configuration of the projects
