NOTE: when creating a product, in taxeditor-application/TaxEditor.product, under the "Configuration" tab, remove then re-add the eu.etaxonomy.taxeditor feature to make sure the version is correct.
Troubleshooting
The most common problem you will run into is missing bundles. However it is not always obvious what bundle is really missing and most likely it is not the bundle stated in the log file but some other bundle the logged bundle depends on.
You can find an excellent description on how to deal with missing bundles here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Where_Is_My_Bundle
