Delving into Eclipse RCP
"A change is as good as a holiday." It's an old cliché but one with more than a grain of truth.
In my working life I always value the opportunity to learn new technologies and put them to good use. So, having spent a good part of the last year working on a J2EE application based on Servlets, JSPs, JSTL and JDBC, I am glad to have recently been given the chance to learn something new with the Eclipse Rich Client Platform. Thanks to my colleagues David and Alan, the learning curve - whilst still significant - is proving to be shorter than it would otherwise. Having used Eclipse in various guises for several years now and been aware of its plug-in architecture, it is a treat to be involved in developing plug-ins as part of creating rich client applications.
That's all I wanted to say, really. Maybe I'll say more later when I've delved deeper.
