What is RCP? RCP is a platform for building applications that provide a rich user experience including all the features that sophisticated users have come to expect from desktop applications. Combined along with valuable Eclipse plug-ins such as the visual editor (VE), Eclipse Modelling Framework (EMF), Graphical Editing Framework (GEF), Eclipse Communication Framework (ECF), Eclipse provides the platform for building just about any application you can dream up... and you can easily deploy on multiple platforms!

If you're building Eclipse RCP Applications or are interested in building them, be sure to attend this BoF on Monday evening. The session will start with a short introduction by Wayne Beaton describing Eclipse RCP and then the floor will be open for discussing issues, ideas and solutions related to rich client development using Eclipse.
