title: Minimal run/debug configurations for eclipse plug-in projects
body: <p>I am working on an eclipse plug-in project. Running/debugging the plug-in project in a standlone <em>Runtime Workbench</em> is a routine work. However, the runtime workbench launches and responds slowly, because my eclipse edition contains too many plug-ins.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>Problem:</strong> How can I create a minimal run/debug configuration without unnecessary plug-ins?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p><strong>My trial:</strong> The option <code>Run As -&gt; Run Configurations -&gt; Plug-ins -&gt; Launch with plug-ins selected below only</code> lists too many plug-ins to choose from. I am not sure what are required and what are unnecessary.<br>
  I try <code>Deselect All -&gt; Add Required Plug-ins</code>, but it causes errors and fails to launch the runtime workbench.</p>

  <p>The <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/4615546/1833118">post: Eclipse minimal configuration for plug-in deployment</a> seems related but it is focused on product deployment and I don't how can it be applied to my situation.</p>
