Description Xavier Méhaut CLA 2004-11-04 00:29:44 EST 
Hello, 
I would suggest to create a web browser plugin for eclipse like there are ones 
for flash, applets, and so on... The idea is to access a web site which stores 
a rcp application which enables to make it running into a web browser like a 
flash animation for instance does. So there is nothing to install on the 
machine (excepting the jre of course)and the application and its framework is 
downloaded in background. Thsi could also enable to build applications mixing 
pure web and RCP in the same browser for instance through frames..
regards
xavier

Xavier, while this is not a bad idea, the Eclipse team has no plans to implement
such a plug-in in the foreseeable.  
We do however want to make it easier to deploy RCP apps.
For example, see bug 48416.

If a browser plug-in for Eclipse is something you'd like to investigate
yourself, please comment here, and we may be able to help you with some pointers.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
