“Last month, I started collecting screen shots of applications that have been built on Eclipse RCP. It is great to see the diversity of open source and commercial applications. When we launch 3.1 we are planning to put a major emphasis on the success of Eclipse RCP. Showing that people are building real rich client applications is an important part of this message. I know there are many more…..”
目前,你可以在Eclipse.org網(wǎng)站上下載到一個(gè)PDF文件:RCPApplication.pdf(5月31日發(fā)表的),收錄了大量Open Source和Commercial的RCP應用程序。其中,包括了我之前曾經(jīng)提到過(guò)的RSSOwl (一個(gè)基于SWT的RSS Reader),IBM Workplace (Lotus的新一代客戶(hù)端),Eclipse Trader (一個(gè)基于RCP的實(shí)時(shí)股票分析軟件),jLibrary (一個(gè)基于RCP的Desktop Content Management),以及NASA (美國航天航空局)用于控制火星探路者和分析結果的NASA JPL。
日前,Martin Perez (jLibrary的作者)在自己的blog中給出了一些針對SWT做的custom widgets。而SWTPlus.com也發(fā)表了兩款widgets,可以下載使用。
隨著(zhù)Eclipse 3.1的即將發(fā)布,以及3.1中對RCP更強大和簡(jiǎn)單化的支持,基于RCP的應用將會(huì )越來(lái)越多。IBM alphaWorks日前也發(fā)表了一個(gè)SWT Data Binding,即將SWT應用和后臺的數據(EJB或者其他數據源)進(jìn)行邦定(“It provides users with the ability to connect the visual SWT elements of the Java application so that they can access data from various data sources”),從而簡(jiǎn)化使用SWT進(jìn)行基于數據庫的開(kāi)發(fā)。使用Eclipse Visual Editor 和這個(gè)新的數據邦定技術(shù),可以預見(jiàn)到,SWT的開(kāi)發(fā)將更加簡(jiǎn)單(也許就像Visual Baisc或者Delphi那樣“所見(jiàn)即所得”了)。
