Developing Your First Eclipse RCP Application 10
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."

I also worked with using Eclipse RCP as the basis for the Maestro [nasa.gov] scientific analysis and high-level rover planning software, which is currently used on MER and is scheduled to be used on several future exploration and technology missions. Because the program is considered "class A mission critical," it must either be written entirely from scratch, or use a framework which is very stable and has good vendor support. JPL uses a lot of FOSS, and Eclipse RCP was a wonderful tool for our purposes. I used Eclipse to great effect while helping to develop the Science Activity Planner (the public version of which was also called Maestro and covered on slashdot here [slashdot.org]).

Why is this a troll? 3.1 was released a year ago, 3.2 has been out for almost a month. Fully functional beta builds have been available for months.
An article this out of date is downright embarrassing, or should be to whoever approved it.
