An application built with Scout typically has a UI with perspectives, views, forms and pages. It may also have a back-end part that is running inside 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 out of the box.

+
With Scout you have:  
+
 
+
#Separation of UI (user interface layer) and GUI (graphical user interface). SWT and Swing GUI factory
+
#Complete workspace overview, multiple Plugins 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
