Using for RCP

[czerwonka]

I was an SWT-Designer customer a while back and stopped, not because of lack of quality, but lack of need. I'm now heading up a new product development and have chosen RCP as a client strategy. I'd like to know how SWT-Designer play in the RCP space. What about the Forms API? I know (think) there's some refactoring happening in Eclipse 3.2 that may bring some of the Forms pieces into either SWT or JFace.

I see more and more people looking to RCP and an wondering whether the VE project or SWT-Designer can help.

SWT Designer has extensive support for creating SWT and RCP applications. You can create perspectives, views, editors, wizard pages, preference & property pages, etc.





The Eclipse Forms API is also supported in Designer, so you can use it for creating views, editors or for any other RCP components.
