Eclipse RCP

Eclipse RCP (Rich Client Platform) is a framework for building customized desktop applications. It provides developers with a set of tools and components, like windows, menus, and data management, to create powerful, flexible software tailored to specific needs. Think of it as a foundational structure that simplifies the process of developing complex applications, ensuring consistency and enabling reuse of features across different programs. Popular software like IDEs (e.g., Eclipse IDE for Java development) are built using RCP, demonstrating its capability to support sophisticated, extendable desktop applications.
