Future Wish List
eRCP Support
1. eRCP application project templates similar to RCP project templates. (Hello world eRCP application, eRCP application with a View etc.) [High priority]
2. Management of build path. eRCP applications are targeted for nothing but CDC, currently PDE(at least on 3.2) does not manage that only access to CDC is available even if the runtime supports java se 1.x. I guess the easiest way to have this would be adding access rules to runtime. [Hig Priority]
3. Exporting/packing eRCP applications for target mobile platforms: I am not sure how many platforms can be covered but I am thinking at least a framework that works nicely with PDE export to provide install packages like .sis files etc. [Medium priority] 4. Running eRCP applications on mobile emulators. By default PDE works only with the windows desktop implementation of eRCP, MTJ can extend PDE to provide run/debug support for eRCP applications on the emulator [Low priority]
Thanks, Görkem Ercan eRCP project lead.
