RCP product no longer starts

After editing a number of plugins in an RCP project, the deployed app no longer starts. The error message in the .metadata/.log file is 

!MESSAGE Product com.company.xyz.app.product could not be found.

I have gone back over the changes I made but cannot identify anything which looks suspicious.

If I start the app directly from the Product Editor it works. If I export the product and run the exported app it doesn't work.

There are 320 plugins in the product configuration and 322 in the export. The two extra plugins are for equinox.launcher which I assume are generated during the export. Otherwise the list of plugins is identical.

I tried exporting with and without a Java runtime but the result is the same.

I tried starting with -debug and debugConsole but there was no useful information.

What can I do to get more information about the cause of the problem?

The problem was caused by me adding a dependency to one of my plugins. That dependency has a dependency which I have in my eclipse installation but not on the build server. Therefore I was able to test without any issues but the built version was missing a plugin.

Shame that no hints were given by the RCP on startup...
