Eclipse RCP application Bundle org.eclipse.ui errors!

Trying to do the Eclipse RCP tutorial and getting compile errors when doing Chapter 3 - Create your first RCP application?

Errors you might be getting:
- Type AbstractUIPlugin cannot be resolved to a type
- Bundle org.eclipse.ui cannot be resolved
- Compile errors

Try this:

1. Click on Window->Preferences
2. Expand Plug-In Development on the tree
3. Click Target Platform
4. Make sure "Running Platform" is active, if it's not, tick it, and click reload, then try to build your project again.

Thank you, it took me one day to find this post finally, in 2015...

Why do none of the RCP tutorials mention this obvious information? If an RCP app runs on a platform, then the very first step is to set that platform...
