Can I really make my RCP application work in a browser? The Rich Ajax Platform (RAP) was designed to bridge the gap between desktop- and web-development. To achieve this RAP reuses the RCP development model integrating the largest possible subset of the RCP-APIs.

In this talk we’ll explore the differences between RAP and RCP that are especially relevant to the goal of single sourcing as much code as possible. We’ll cover a range of techniques and basic patterns to close the gap between RCP and RAP, for both existing RCP applications and new RCP/RAP projects. We’ll take a look at the roadmap for RAP as well as discussing possible steps for integrating the platform into Eclipse 4.0
