See how you can make an RCP Application run in your browser
Spurred by Chris Aniszczyk's recent blog post ("Web Development Revisited") I decided to post a RAP screencast showing how to convert the RCP Mail Template into a RAP application. The whole process takes just a few minutes. View screencast in new window.
RAP stands for Rich Ajax Platform. It is an Eclipse Project that enables Java developers to build browser-based AJAX applications using the full Java libraries, Eclipse APIs and a plug-in architecture. It does so by providing a web-enabled implementation of SWT, JFace and the Workbench.

Cool stuff, I didn't know people ready my blog ;)
I believe RAP plans to have PDE templates for 1.0 so you'll be able to easily create this example in a few clicks.
Hi Chris,
> I believe RAP plans to have PDE
> templates for 1.0
that's correct. There is a plugin under /cvsroot/technology/org.eclipse.rap/org.eclipse.rap.ui.templates
which contributes three new templates: "RAP Application with a View", "RAP Mail Template" and "RAP, Hello World".
Kind regards,
Elias.
Elias,
Thanks for making the video. I'm passing it around our office to see if we could RAP a few of our tools onto the web.

Hi!
Thanks for the great screencast. Does anybody know more like this? Or any detailed written tutorials for RAP?
It would be useful for me.
