Developing Your First Eclipse RCP Application

An anonymous reader writes "The objective of the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) is to enable Eclipse to be used in a wide range of end-user applications that are not integrated development environments (IDEs). With the release of Eclipse V3.1, it is easy to create RCP applications. This tutorial will guide you step by step in building your very own RCP application."

Ugh! dreadful

[hey!]

I wouldn't bother. This has to be about the worst tutorial I've ever seen.

It doesn't even show you any actual code. It takes you through the process of using the IDE, and instructions to paste code (which it doesn't show) from other projects (that you don't have) into files generated by the IDE. In short, it shows you things you could figure out yourself, doesn't show you the things you couldn't.

It would make more sense just to study the examples provided, or to go to the eclipse RCP web site and look at the far superior tutorials there.
