    <h3>How RCP Developers Benefit</h3>
    <p>Developers who use the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) will
      find Eclipse SDK 4.0 makes it easier to build great looking rich
      client applications. Eclipse SDK 4.0 introduces the following:</p>
    <ul>
      <li>a new CSS-based declarative mechanism for application styling
        and a model-based user interface. These facilities make it
        easier to design and customize an application user interface.
        This also adds greater flexibility to UI layout, making it
        easier to make a user interface look different from an IDE</li>
      <li>a new services-oriented programming model that makes it easier
        to use discreet application services of the Eclipse platform.</li>
      <li>better support for integrating web UI components into
        Eclipse-based applications, including support for OpenSocial
        gadgets.</li>
    </ul>
    <br />

    <h3>For Tool Developers</h3>
    <p>Developers that have built Eclipse tools and plugins will want to
      start migrating these tools to Eclipse SDK 4.0. Developers will
      benefit from the following Eclipse SDK 4.0 features:</p>
    <ul>
      <li>The Eclipse SDK 4.0 supports all of the same APIs and
        functionality as the 3.6 (Helios) release, but the
        implementation of the user interface has changed.</li>
      <li>You should install and run your existing tools on 4.0 to
        ensure they continue to function as expected.</li>
      <li>Explore the preliminary e4 APIs and provide feedback to the
        development team to help shape the future of the platform</li>
    </ul>
