RCP Tutorial
The tutorial will demonstrate how to setup the Eclipse Open Source IDE, and create a small fully branded Eclipse Rich Platform application.

The tutorial will be based on the material from the RcpSudoku project.

The lessons will cover Plugin-based Product Configuration :

  • Setting up the Eclipse Environment for RCP development
  • Using the built-in wizards and tooling to create a skeleton for the application
  • Adding menus to the toolbar
  • Adding a Help Plugin
  • Branding the application with a splash screen, window images, and about information
  • Adding the data model as a seperate plugin
  • Creating an extension point and adding the game rules as a plugin
  • Utilize error handling and logging
  • Deploying and testing the empty application skeleton.
