Description Ralf Sternberg CLA 2012-10-27 10:20:02 EDT 
During our evaluation of Eclipse4 applications on RAP [1], we've found several issues that would need to be fixed in E4, mainly related to multi-user support. In order to enable multi-user applications, it is required that no references to UI components are stored in static fields or singletons. These issues will also affect other web-based renderers for E4 such as the recent Vaadin port [2].

I'm opening this bug as an umbrella for remaining issues that currently prevent this use case.

During ECE 2012, we've noticed a considerable interest in a RAP renderer for Eclipse 4 applications. It would be great if the remaining obstacles could be cleared out of the way.

Sorry, I've changed the priority of the wrong bug, back to P3.
