Description Niraj Modi

While working on bug 449303, noticed below Platform guide's entire section dedicated to RCP is no longer valid, as it's based on RCP Browser Example which is retired via bug 487670:
http://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Frcp.htm

RCP Browser example is heavily referred in all 7 pages under this section.

When that comment was made, the example was still in Git and one could have simply changed the URLs. When removing some features/examples, one should also remove the doc.

Lars, can you do that for RC4 (Wednesday)?

This caused at least one broken link (bug 498831).
