There is a wealth of information available on our Web site that discusses what the RCP is and how it can be used. Pointers include:

Q: How can smaller, potential GUI component suppliers participate?
Milinkovich: Eclipse has a well-known and vibrant commercial ecosystem. For people who are interested in creating components and making them available—either in open source or commercially—they can work with the Web sites listed at http://www.eclipse.org/community/index.html (then click on "Sources of Information about Eclipse"). There is a wealth of technical information as well. For those interested in getting started, I would suggest the three-part technical tutorial at http://eclipse.org/articles/Article-RCP-1/tutorial1.html.
Q. Re: JSR 198. You commented that it was technical feasible, then the discussion went off in another direction.
Milinkovich: The key point I was making is that we can adopt plug-in models that technically address the issue. For example, Eclipse has a very mature plug-in model. In particular, it was designed with scalability on the order of a thousand plug-ins in mind. The details of the JSR 198 plug-in model are not available to the development community. However, given the diverse interests of the players in the JCP, it might be difficult to obtain a consensus. 198 has been in existence for almost two years now. I am sure the development community will be interested in seeing tangible progress from the JSR.
As Eclipse is a strong supporter of open standards, we needed to look elsewhere for a plug-in standard to base our component runtime on. More details on that are below.
Q: What is Eclipse doing about IDE component plug-ins, and how does this relate to JSR 198?
Milinkovich: Eclipse has a plug-in model based upon the Open Services Gateway Initiative (OSGi) standard. The entire Eclipse platform is built on top of this open plug-in model. This approach has proven to be very successful. The open, pluggable nature of Eclipse has spawned a large ecosystem of third-party providers that are shipping commercial and open source plug-ins for Eclipse today.
