I think you miss the difference between Eclipse IDE and Eclipse Platform. The IDE is and application built using RCP. As Azureus or RSSOwl, which aren't IDE-type applications. One of the tutorials mentioned int the RCP wiki takes user through creating an email client application, which is not an IDE, definitely. Eclipse RCP allows building applications as a set of pluggable features over common runtime. While not a "mark-and-drop" solution yet, it's a great leap forward in Java desktop applications. There's more to Eclipse that just IDE. ;) -- Jarek Zgoda http://jpa.berlios.de/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
