== What is it  ==
+
 
+
The eclipse Scout Plug-Ins are used to build applications based on eclipse and equinox. These may be standalone apps, client/server apps, headless apps on server-side equinox etc.
+
 
+
Eclipse Scout consists of a runtime and an SDK part. The runtime part consists of approx. five Plug-Ins, the SDK consists of approx. three Plug-Ins.
+
 
+
The runtime is purely based on equinox, and eclipse. The SDK part is an extension to JDT and PDE with a complete perspective for easy click-and-build of a complete application.
+
 
+
Read the more detailed '''[[Scout Overview]]'''.
+
 
+
== Key Concepts  ==
+
 
+
An applications built with eclipse Scout typically has a UI with perspectives, views, forms and pages. It may also have a back-end part that is running in an application server with server-side equinox. Perspectives, views, forms and pages are not limited to SWT, Scout supports complete GUI pluggability and also supports Swing of the box.
+
 
+
With eclipse Scout you have
+
 
+
#Separation of UI (user interface layer) and GUI (graphical user interface). SWT and Swing GUI factory
+
#Complete workspace overview, multiple Plug-Ins participating to the same application are visualized with their high-level dependencies
+
#Much convenience and support in writing only the code you want to write when for example writing a new form with many sections and fields
+
#Automatic nls support as-you-type
+
#Soap-based remote service tunnel for hi-speed service remoting to a eclipse server-side application
+
#Extension point for declaring OSGi services and remote service proxies
+
#Extension point for UI component to gui widget mapping
+
#Complete abstration layer for desktop (workbench), outlines (perspectives), forms (views, dialogs) and fields
+
#Configurable code
+
#Template concept for creating abstract class libraries
+
#Strong typed code, minimized "string binding" and therefore best support by PDE and JDT
+
#No meta data and no one-way code genration; everything is in the Java code you write. If you prefer to write code manually, or via click-and-build, doesn't matter

== My first application  ==

+
Easiest way to begin is creating a new eclipse Scout project group and choosing the mail sample application. A project group is a set of Plug-Ins that make up your application. Project name: com.example.mail Project parts: client, server, SWT UI This will create the Plug-Ins (listed by layer)
+
 
+
#com.example.mail.ui.swt.core
+
#com.example.mail.client.core
+
#com.example.mail.shared.core
+
#com.example.mail.server.core
