<h1>Introduction</h1>
<h2>About</h2>
<p>
The Remote Application Platform (RAP) is a framework for modular, web-based business applications.
User interfaces can be developed entirely in Java using a widget toolkit with
<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/swt">SWT</a> API, JFace, and databinding.
They can, but do not have to use the Eclipse Workbench and Eclipse extension points.
Existing RCP applications can be run as Web applications with only minor changes.
