| <h1>Introduction</h1> |
| |
| <h2>About</h2> |
| <p> |
| The Rich Ajax Platform enables developers to build rich, Ajax-enabled Web applications by using |
| the Eclipse development model. |
| User interfaces can be developed using a widget toolkit with |
| <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/swt">SWT</a> API, |
| JFace, and databinding. |
| Applications can be composed of OSGi bundles and also use the well known Eclipse extension points. |
| They even can, but do not have to use the Eclipse Workbench. |
| As an effect, existing RCP applications can be run as Web applications with only minor changes. |
