[news.eclipse.technology] Re: Non IDE application Based on Eclipse.

["Horváth, Csaba" <hcs33@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

In Eclipse 3.0 plan
(http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_plan_3_0.html)
there is a plan item to split the general ui framework and the ide-specific
parts (look under Rich Client Platform). For Eclipse 2.x you have to remove
the unnecessary plugins.
Another (maybe) interesting links (which can help you with Eclipse 2.x):
- http://eclipsewiki.swiki.net/2586
- http://eclipsewiki.swiki.net/2587

HTH,
Regards,
Csaba
