Compatible Operating Systems: Windows and Linux
Compatible IBM Software:Rational Application Developer

RCP Developer, created by the development tools experts at Instantiations, is a software development product that accelerates the creation of Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) applications by providing tools for constructing and testing graphical user interfaces, creating documentation and packaging rich client applications for deployment.

Companies using traditional methods of application development, testing and deployment often find it hard to release applications on-time and within budget. Normally, rich-client cross-platform applications are hard to write because they involve many lines of intricate code to handle things like windowing, update management, multithreading, and other complex low-level details. Writing code to test the interface, manually testing each element of the GUI and even releasing and deploying an application can be time-consuming and result in errors.

RCP Developer frees developers to…

Create Blazing Fast Rich Java Clients:

Tap into the ultra high performance Eclipse graphical user interface libraries and ensure a native look and feel for your client and stand-alone desktop applications.

Build Rich Java Client Applications Faster:

Focus on creating business specific functionality rather than reinventing the low-level logic required for applications to run.

Deliver a More Consistent User Experience.

Tame the most demanding user interface requirements and reliably deliver a rich and consistent user experience across all applications.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• SWT Designer empowers developers to quickly create the views, editors, perspective, preference pages and other user interface elements that comprise Eclipse RCP applications. It gives developers complete control over user interface construction.
• WindowTester SWT assures application quality through automated testing of the graphical user interfaces that comprise Eclipse RCP applications. It minimizes the need for developers to hand-code GUI tests through automated recording, test generation and playback.
• Help Composer streamlines the creation of documentation that is fully compatible with the Eclipse Help system. It assists in linking the structure of Help files to the application in a consistent way. It also enables the quick translation of Help files into Web pages.
• RCP Packager streamlines the build and deployment process for Eclipse RCP applications by assembling application elements together into a single package for easy deployment. It helps developers reliably create and maintain high-quality Eclipse RCP installations.
• Fully exploits the freely available Eclipse Rich Client Platform and seamlessly integrate into Eclipse, Rational and MyEclipse.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

• Microsoft Windows 98, ME, NT 4.0,2000, XP or Vista and Linux+GTK2
• IBM Rational Application Developer 7.0 or higher, Eclipse 3.1 or higher or MyEclipse 5.0 or higher
