Bring Java Back to the Desktop: Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP)

Mike Taylor (Instantiations), Mike Milinkovich (Eclipse Foundation)
 
Abstract:

Milinkovich, in summarizing the benefits of the RCP approach, said, "This is about bringing Java back to the desktop," a thought which both he and Taylor said applies to all developers. As an example, when questioned about its benefits to current .NET developers, Milinkovich noted that, "For programmers who program in C#, for example, it's not a big jump. And the fact that developers can build, deploy, and manage applications on multiple desktops and operating systems make this a differentiator."

Instantiations CEO Mike Taylor outlined a number of the key benefits of his company's product, RCP Developer, which the Instantiations website notes is designed "to accelerate the creation of Eclipse RCP applications by providing tools for constructing and testing graphical user interfaces and packaging rich client applications for deployment."
