Hi Mark,

Thanks for your suggestions.

Could please provide me a detailed reference (title/author) to the books 
you're referring to below? I considered reading "Eclipse: Building 
Commercial-Quality Plug-Ins" from the guys at Instantiations, but it seems 
to be based on Eclipse 3.2 .

I'm also experimenting with Instantiation's SWT Designer. It makes 
generating new SWT components a lot easier, but unfortunately it does not 
recognize RAP specific code to deal with resources, such as:

widget.setImage(Graphics.getImage("image.jpg", 
Activator.class.getClassLoader());

In my company we succeeded at developing a small prototype RAP application 
in a week, even without any prior experience in OSGi or Eclipse RCP.

[]s,

Alex
