Webinar Summary:

Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) is a runtime platform for delivering your Java applications on multiple platforms. RCP is far more than just a widget toolkit; it is effectively rich client "middleware" that provides a comprehensive platform for building and deploying applications that are modular, extensible, and updatable.

Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) originated as an effort to formalize what some organizations had been already been doing with earlier versions: using the richness of the open source Eclipse platform to deliver high quality applications that provide rich user experiences. Since then, numerous organizations (including NASA, IBM, and Novell) have started to leverage Eclipse as the delivery platform for their own applications. As Eclipse continues to evolve, so does the support for building rich client applications.
