Run tycho eclipse plugin as Eclipse Application - eclipse

Question

I just created an eclipse plugin using tycho. I can run mvn clean install and so far there are no errors.
Now I want to run the plugin as Eclipse Application (it is basically a builder). When I press run as Eclipse Application a second eclipse instance is showing up. When I create a new project there and add my builder, eclipse throws me this exception:
org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectionException: org.eclipse.core.commands.ExecutionException: Failed to toggle nature
Caused by: org.eclipse.core.commands.ExecutionException: Failed to toggle nature
Caused by: org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Problems encountered while setting project description
The error happens in this method:
private void toggleNature(IProject project) throws CoreException {
IProjectDescription description = project.getDescription();
String[] natures = description.getNatureIds();
for (int i = 0; i < natures.length; ++i) {
if (SidecarNature.NATURE_ID.equals(natures[i])) {
// Remove the nature
String[] newNatures = new String[natures.length - 1];
System.arraycopy(natures, 0, newNatures, 0, i);
System.arraycopy(natures, i + 1, newNatures, i, natures.length - i - 1);
description.setNatureIds(newNatures);
project.setDescription(description, null);
return;
}
}
// Add the nature
String[] newNatures = new String[natures.length + 1];
System.arraycopy(natures, 0, newNatures, 0, natures.length);
newNatures[natures.length] = SidecarNature.NATURE_ID;
description.setNatureIds(newNatures);
// ---------------------------------------
// The Error is thrown here
// ---------------------------------------
project.setDescription(description, null);
}
I don't know whats wrong since this is the eclipse template code. I haven't changed anything. It should works when I dont use maven.
This is basically the pom.xml

The IStatus:
Status WARNING: org.eclipse.core.resources code=568 Problems encountered while setting project description. null children=[[type: WARNING], [path: null], [message: Nature does not exist: eclipseintegration.builder.SidewiseNature.], [plugin: org.eclipse.core.resources], [exception: null]
]

Answer 1

The message in the IStatus Nature does not exist: eclipseintegration.builder.SidewiseNature. is saying you are trying to add a nature that does not exist.
Have you declared the nature with the org.eclipse.core.resources.natures extension point? Does the id declared there match the SidecarNature.NATURE_ID constant?
