Hi together,
actually I want do my first steps with Spring RCP. But the HP doesn't give me all informations I need.
The following things I want to know:
- what are the features of Spring RCP
- can I only use the plain Spring RCP library, and what are the features of them
- for which features I need additional librarys
- is Spring RCP an official Spring project (I dont find any literature about it)
Thank you all
I would point you to the latest doc which is a good feature overview, but actually this is down.
Please see here for an equivalent:

I rethought about my answer. Here more details:
> what are the features of Spring RCP
It provides all you need for a RIA: I18N, forms (date, text, number, ...), layout, validation, window-docking, beans-binding, master details stuff, tables, background treads, IOC, ...
except two things I am missing:
1. plugin architecture. which could be partially solved via this: http://karussell.wordpress.com/2009/...g-rich-client/ But I feel that a true plugin architecture would require to rewrite spring rc from scratch
2. database communication support for 3 tier projects. You have to implement your own or use cayenne
> can I only use the plain Spring RCP library, and what are the features of them
you have to use the core and could enhance the core with window-docking etc
> is Spring RCP an official Spring project (I dont find any literature about it)
it is not really, I fear very few companies requires Swing RIAs for their enterprise :-(
