Eclipse, a platform for building applications, was originally aimed at Web  application and image manipulation. With the release of Eclipse 3.0 there has  been a shift to the use of Eclipse as a Rich Client Platform (RCP). In other  words, using Eclipse as a base for everyday generic applications from media  players to productivity and desktop applications. Thinking of Eclipse as not  just an IDE but a platform for all application building is an evolution for the  platform and significantly extends its reach to developers. In this book the  designers of Eclipse as an RCP introduces the reader to the RCP concept and  walks them through a set of scenarios and examples using Eclipse to solve real  world, application problems. This will appeal to all developers who want to  develop and deploy world-class applications with rich, native GUIs.  Development areas that are already using Eclipse RCP include bio-medical,  embedded technology (handhelds, etc), enterprise and productivity applications  and banking.
