Regarding point 2, if you do have platform-specific fragments, also be sure to build with explicit configs (for example, “configs=macosx, carbon, x86 & win32, win32, x86) in your build.properties. Wildcard specifiers play havoc with generation of fetch scripts, and as a result your platform-specific fragments won’t be copied into the source area for the build.

I ran into point 4 (redundancy between feature and launch config) multiple times. Wouldn’t it make sense to have an option in the launch config to take the bundle list directly from a feature.xml (present in the current workspace)? Using this, missing dependencies could be found earlier.
