Eclipse Rich Client Platform

The Eclipse Rich Client Platform has become a premier delivery vehicle for all kinds of rich graphical applications. If your application has any of the following requirements, it can usually benefit from being an Eclipse RCP application:

  • Usable when the network isn't always present
  • Utilizes a native look and feel across multiple platforms (ie: Windows, Mac)
  • Edits charts or diagrams interactively
  • Needs to be updated automatically from a server
  • Implements a programming tool or IDE
