RCP Book Part Deux

Plan

This represents the plan for updating the RCP Book.

The goal is to get something updated and sent to the publisher by June.

Note: The samples manager included with the book will need to be updated

Part 1

• Chapter 1: Eclipse as a Rich Client Platform
  • 1.4.1 - should be updated for Lotus Notes, IBM WCT is dead
  • 1.4.2 - maybe be updated for whatever RCP things NASA is doing
• Chapter 2: Eclipse RCP Concepts
  • 2.2 - update the Eclipse 3.1 vs 3.0 figure

Part 2

Note: The image updating will be painful, since there's no more startup.jar :P

• Chapter 3: Tutorial Introduction
  • 3.3 - should update for 3.4 target
  • 3.4 - should update for 3.4 target
• Chapter 4: The Hyperbola Application
  • 4.1 - new plug-in project wizard updates, org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications deprecation
• Chapter 5: Starting the Hyperbola Prototype
