[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: Convert normal Plug-ins to RCP plug-ins?

[Bob Foster <bob@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting, but is it responsive to the example?

The only real difference between a RCP plug-in and an Eclipse plug-in is 
dependencies. Eclipse plug-ins, in general, refer to plug-ins that 
aren't part of RCP. Sometimes, you can resolve this by simply adding the 
needed plug-ins to the RCP app, sometimes it's not so easy.
