JP Morgan chooses Eclipse RCP

JP Morgan is yet another company that has evaluated the different possible client platform and have chosen Eclipse RCP as a consequence.

In the end the choice was between Java Swing and RCP, and RCP was chosen due to the plug-in nature for the platform.

Read the analysis on eclipse.org (pdf) and read more about RCP on our web site.

New webinar on RCP

Wayne Beaton from the Eclipse Foundation and Jeff McAffer, one of the architects of the Eclipse Platform, broadcast web-wide on SYS-CON.TV on Tuesday, and delivered a first-rate webinar on 'Building Rich Clients Using Eclipse RCP.' Clearly the Eclipse Rich Client Platform is a hot topic right now, and the questions flooded in via the SYS-CON.TV webinar interface.

See SYS-CON.TV for the webinar.
