Description Rüdiger Herrmann CLA 2011-05-09 06:06:23 EDT
Give a brief introduction into RWT and explain its role in RAP (i.e. SWT/Web). The article should then guide the user through the steps required to create and launch a simple RWT application:
1. set up a Java project
2. add dependencies
  a) by aid of a PDE Target Platform
  b) with JDT only: download RAP Runtime, extract necessary libraries from there and add them to the Java Build Path
3. create a class that implements IEntryPoint and whose createUI() method constructs a basic UI.
4. explain how to create a launch configuration

Optional: provide a reference to the two (future) life cycle implementations that are available

Most of the suggestions are now covered by the Hello World chapter in the Eclipse Help. This tutorial uses a Plug-in Project. There is no advice for non-PDE folks yet.
Comment 2 Ralf Sternberg CLA 2012-06-28 10:06:52 EDT
Mentioned plain Java projects in the hello world article. There could be more guidance on dependency management, but we can't do that right now. Contributions are welcome.
