A first look at Eclipse Rich Ajax Platform (RAP)

Eclipse Rich Ajax Platform (RAP) allows developers to create Rich Internet Applications (RIA) using the OSGi standard component model. The main advantage of this technology is the ability to share the same Java code base for RCP and RIA applications.

In this two-part screencast you are going to see RAP installation process, look and feel of the RAP 1.0 Demo application and creation of the simple RAP plugin.


Installation of the RAP 1.0 using the Eclipse Update Manager (01:15):

RAP 1.0 Demo application. Creation of the "Hello world" RAP plugin (02:15):

Hi,

I just realized that I never thanked you for those excellent screencasts.

This is absolutely great, and I just linked to this page from the Eclipse.org RAP pages.

Thanks for the kind words and link of course.

Very nice these screencasts - and very helpful indeed!

A question though: when comparing this to my setup I just realized, that after installing RAP, importing the demo project and opening its plugin.xml file on the Overview tab I don't see those "Launch a RAP application" links under "Testing" (about 1/3 into the second screencast).

What did I miss to do to have those?

Muito boa a explicação, gostei muito.

Embora aqui no Brasil ninguem se interessa em desenvolvimento de RCP e RAP, infelizmente, estou só no Brasil.
