RCP Delta Pack files for FreeBSD

I'm trying to get an Eclipse RCP application to run on FreeBSD. It's
been set up so that the target platform location has been moved from
/usr/local/eclipse to a private directory containing many third party
files and within which the distributed delta pack is installed.
I can get it to build and run correctly on FreeBSD by copying files
from /usr/local/eclipse to the target platform location, namely the
*freebsd* files from /usr/local/eclipse/plugins - but only if I use
the 'Launch an Eclipse application' approach. If I try to export the
application using the export wizard, the export process succeeds but
no launcher is present in the export directory. If I copy
/usr/local/eclipse/eclipse into the export directory, I can start the
application but it complains that MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME cannot be found in
the environment and it exits after displaying the splash screen.
If I set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to either of /usr/local/lib/firefox or
/usr/local/lib/firefox3, it runs further but either exits with a
java-out-of-memory error or it hangs and must be killed.
I am guessing I have not set up the correct environment to run it
outside of Eclipse. What do I need to do to generate the FreeBSD
portion of a delta pack?
It seems like I'm awfully close but that perhaps I'm linking to the
wrong library - it is not necessary to set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME if I
export a simple RCP application when the target platform location is
/usr/local/eclipse.
In this simple case the launcher is correctly copied to the export
directory, too.
