Eclipse RCP is the core runtime environment of the Eclipse tooling platform. It includes the Eclipse plug-in model, the GUI components and frameworks that enable the native platform look and feel, a mechanism for dynamically updating plug-ins and much more.

Overview

The Rich Client Platform (RCP) allows you to build Java applications that can compete with native applications on any platform. Part 1 of the tutorial introduced you to the platform and the steps used to build the smallest possible RCP program. In part 2 we'll look at what we did in more detail and introduce some of the configuration classes that let you take control of much of the layout and functionality of an RCP application. This part has been updated for Eclipse 3.1.
