[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: Need Help with the Browser RCP Example

["vince" <fiustudent@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, all,

I have the same problem. I cannot run some RCP example, either, except my 
example is different.

I don't know what do you mean when you say "shortcut", but after reading 
some articles, at least I have to run some examples to get intuitively 
impression. Unfortunatly, although there are a lot of documents, they are 
not so helpful to run examples simply because of the different versions 
which is changed so fast. That's why we ask questions here. We need the 
step by step help to run examples (which I believe not so many steps in our 
cases), or we cannot know the concepts that all of the documents are talking 
about.

Regards,
Vince
