[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: Does RCP allow SDI and MDI

[G Van landeghem <gvl@xxxxxx>]

To summarize we have these options to implement an "application controller"
- Use netbeans platform api
- Use eclipse rcp
- Develop it ourselves

The conditions to meet:
- Use Eclipse as development enviroment
- Write an application in which each menu option launches a seperate window (Overview, detail, ...) which has an entry in the os taskbar and has its own menu.
- Have a application controller soon

We looked at Netbeans platform (which lets you choose between SDI/MDI) evaluated as ok because its pure java swing and with alot of options.

We looked at Eclipse and evaluated as being less ok because its SWT (learning curve) and no SDI available.

But I'd like to continue using Eclipse as IDE so I am looking for a way to use Eclipse RCP in a SDI manner.
