Maven install tycho native launcher issue on basic eclipse plugin

Question

I'm trying to automate the build of an eclipse RCP application. I decided to this using maven with its tycho plugin. However I followed the tutorials where I create a plugin, feature and then a product. Following this tutorial, http://mattiasholmqvist.se/2010/03/building-with-tycho-part-2-rcp-applications/ seems a bit out of date.

However when I run my mvn install I get :

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD FAILURE
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Total time: 23.056s

lahan.premierProduct: Product includes native launcher but no target environment was specified -> [Help 1]
[ERROR]

In the product if I uncheck the use native launchers I get a different issue:

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any help would be a great help or pointers how to get around either of these issues would be a great help.

Try to add environments configuration into your pom.xml:

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
        <artifactId>target-platform-configuration</artifactId>
        <version>${tycho-version}</version>
        <configuration>
          <environments>
            <environment>
              <os>win32</os>
              <ws>win32</ws>
              <arch>x86</arch>
            </environment>
            <environment>
              <os>linux</os>
              <ws>gtk</ws>
              <arch>x86_64</arch>
            </environment>
            <environment>
              <os>macosx</os>
              <ws>cocoa</ws>
              <arch>x86_64</arch>
            </environment>
          </environments>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
