Eclipse Rich Client Platform
Eclipse 3.0 M5 is scheduled for release next Friday. This milestone will include RCP - the Rich Client Platform . This is something that I (any many others) have been anticipating for quite a while. Essentially, RCP will move Eclipse from being a framework for building IDEs only, to a framework for general Java applications. Ed Burnette, who I heard speak at TriJUG while I was on co-op, has posted a draft of his RCP tutorial . The start of a web browser written using RCP has also been posted.

Were you able to run the browser example?
Although I was able to run the example from the tutorial, I wasn't able to launch the browser:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Application not found: org.eclipse.ui.examples.browser.BrowserApp.
I checked everything and can't figure why!!
Greetings! :)
