[news.eclipse.technology.nebula] Re: Nebula Grid in RCP application

["Mustufa Kasidwala" <m.kasid@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tom,

Thanks for this explanation.

In my target platform, i refer to the same eclipse platform using which i 
develop. Isn't this proper? should there be two copies of eclipse to develop 
RCP application?

Is this a best practice to develop RCP applications or a requirement?

Thanks,
