This example is tested with ‘Eclipse (Mars) for RCP and RAP Developers’ IDE. RCP development has been made simple with Eclipse 4.x API compared to Eclipse 3. Eclipse architecture make this very much possible than ever before.Īpplications written with RCP are completely portable and will run equally well on Windows, Mac or Linux. Not just class re-usability but full component reuse. The basic advantage of Eclipse RCP is module re-usability. It is a well-suited platform for Java based desktop applications. RCP is a collection of lower-level frameworks.

Regarded as one of the best GUI design tools available, it’s great to have window builder on this years Eclipse release train. You can even use window builder on existing UIs - ones that were not originally created with the tool. Window Builder can be used to get your UI up and running quickly, or to maintain and evolve your UI over the long term.

The bi-directional editing means you can seamlessly move between a Drag n’ Drop designer and the generated code. You can also preview your interface as you develop them: The SWT Designer supports simple SWT interfaces, JFace dialogs (such as Wizards), Forms, Databinding integration, and support for creating RCP applications. The Swing Designer supports JDialogs, JFrames, JPanel, and more. Not only does the tool allow you to mock-up your UIs, it generates production ready code without any additional run-time dependencies. The tool supports both Swing and SWT/JFace and is a must-have for anybody designing Graphical User Interfaces in Java. Window Builder is an award winning, bi-directional, Java GUI designer. Number 2 on my list has been part of the Eclipse EcoSystem for years, but it’s actually a newcomer on annual release train: Window Builder. We are one day away from the Eclipse Indigo release, and that means we are into the Top 2 Features On My Eclipse Indigo Top 10 Feature List.
