org.eclipse.core.runtime bundle is not resolved in tycho build

Question

I have a project which builds and runs fine when built with eclipse, but when I trz to build it with maven & tycho, I get

 java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to acquire application service. Ensure that the org.eclipse.core.runtime bundle is resolved and started (see config.ini).

The bundle is indeed in the plugin directory, and referenced by config.ini.

What is the problem, and how to solve it?

You can find the code here: https://github.com/magwas/archi/tree/48c26595a87ddcfff994e3b9b058b6d6ad30f61e

The problem is coming because you are not setting startup lavel for org.eclipse.core.runtime bundle.

Open your product and set start level as below image.
