| The RAP project enables developers to build rich, Ajax-enabled Web |
| applications by using the Eclipse development model, plug-ins with |
| the well known Eclipse workbench extension points, JFace, and a |
| widget toolkit with SWT API. |
| </div><div> |
| Plans for previous releases can be found on these |
| <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/RapPlan">wiki pages</a>. |

| <p> |
| RAP 1.4 will be released on June 22, 2011, together with Eclipse Indigo. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Two service releases are planned for RAP 1.4 that will include |
| critical bug fixes. |
| </p> |
| </div><p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="target_environments">Target Environments</a></h2><div> |
| <p> |
| The server-side part of the Rich Ajax Platform 1.4 will be written and |
| compiled against |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/server/">Equinox</a> |
| Version 3.7</li> |
| <li>Version 1.4.2 of the Java Platform APIs (i.e., Java 2 Platform, |
| Release 1.4.2 SE)</li> |
| <li> |
| <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/reference/api/index.html"> |
| Java Servlet API</a> Version 2.3 - 3.0</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The client-side reference implementation of RAP 1.4 will support the |
| following web browsers/rendering engines: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Internet Explorer 6.0 and later, at least 7.0 is recommended</li> |
| <li>Firefox 2.0 and later</li> |
| <li>Safari 3.0 and later</li> |
| <li>Google Chrome 3.0 and later</li> |
| <li>Opera 9.0 and later</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| </div><h3>Internationalization</h3> |
| <div> |
| The Rich Ajax Platform is designed as the basis for internationalized |
| products. The user interface elements provided by the RAP |
| components, including dialogs and error messages, are externalized. The |
| English strings are provided as the default resource bundles. |
| </div> |
| <p><a href="#toc">Table of Contents</a></p><h2><a name="compatibility">Compatibility with Previous Releases</a></h2><div> |

| <p> |
| As in every release, we plan to improve the RAP widget set. |
| This includes a new Tree, non-native scrollbars, and including the |
| upload widget into the release. |
| To support custom widgets better, we'd also like to come up with a |
| small documented JavaScript API for custom widgets. |
| </p> |
| </div><ul><li><b>Committed</b><ul><li>[Client] Define a minimal JavaScript API for custom widgets [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/324434">324434</a>] (target milestone: ---)</li><li>[Tree] New client implementation for Tree [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/309519">309519</a>] <strike>(target milestone: 1.4 M1)</strike></li></ul></li></ul><ul><li><b>Proposed</b><ul><li>[upload] Graduate file upload widget [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/190763">190763</a>] (target milestone: Future)</li><li>Implement a non-native client ScrollBar [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/314763">314763</a>] <strike>(target milestone: 1.4 M4)</strike></li></ul></li></ul><h3>Theming and Design</h3><div> |
| <p> |
| We want to further improve the look and feel of RAP applications by |
| adding more theming features like shadows and more animations. |
| Our aging default theme also needs a fresh look. |
| Those widgets that are not very customizeable by theming, should be |
| improved. We also plan to ease the theming of custom widgets. |
| </p> |
| </div><ul><li><b>Committed</b><ul><li>[Theming] Implement themeable shadow effects [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/324436">324436</a>] (target milestone: ---)</li><li>[Theming] Extend and enhance animations [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/324438">324438</a>] (target milestone: ---)</li><li>[Theming] Support custom theme properties [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/324447">324447</a>] (target milestone: ---)</li><li>[design] Migrate business theme to default theme [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/302393">302393</a>] <strike>(target milestone: 1.4 M2)</strike></li></ul></li></ul><ul><li><b>Proposed</b><ul><li>[Theming] Investigate theme updates without server restart [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/324562">324562</a>] (target milestone: ---)</li><li>[Theming] Improve themeability of widgets [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/324564">324564</a>] (target milestone: ---)</li></ul></li></ul><h3>Single Sourcing</h3><div> |
| <p> |
| To support single sourcing, we will update the Eclipse UI APIs |
| to 3.7 and add more Eclipse API to RAP - first and foremost key |
| bindings, as there is a great demand. |
| </p> |
| </div><ul><li><b>Committed</b><ul><li>Adopt Indigo (3.7) Eclipse UI APIs [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/324437">324437</a>] (target milestone: ---)</li><li>Keybindings in RAP [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/282449">282449</a>] <strike>(target milestone: 1.4 M5)</strike></li></ul></li></ul><ul><li><b>Proposed</b><ul><li>Launch from org.eclipse.core.runtime.products [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/303353">303353</a>] (target milestone: ---)</li></ul></li></ul><h3>Support other client technologies</h3><div> |
| <p> |
| We notice that mobile devices are gaining popularity and thus we |
| want to improve RAP on those devices. |
| For a start, we plan to fix blocking bugs on iPhone/iPad and make |
| RAP work on Adroid. |
| Moreover, we will work towards a well-defined JSON protocol between |
| client and server that will once allow for exchangeable client |
| implementations. |
| </p> |
| </div><ul><li><b>Committed</b><ul><li>Provide for exchangeable client implementation [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/255513">255513</a>] (target milestone: ---)</li></ul></li></ul><ul><li><b>Proposed</b><ul><li>Support mobile platforms [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/323031">323031</a>] (target milestone: ---)</li><li>Install a formalized communication format between server and client [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/311355">311355</a>] (target milestone: ---)</li></ul></li></ul><h3>Performance and Reliability</h3><div> |
| <p> |
| We want to further improve the performance of RAP by reducing the |
| client footprint. |
| We are involved in a research project that evaluates solutions for |
| transparent failover. |
| </p> |
| </div><ul><li><b>Committed</b><ul><li>Adopt and adjust qooxdoo 0.7.4 for RAP client side [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/320993">320993</a>] (target milestone: ---)</li><li>Provide infrastructure for automated performance tests [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/285391">285391</a>] (target milestone: ---)</li></ul></li></ul><ul><li><b>Proposed</b><ul><li><div>No items.</div></li></ul></li></ul><h3>Tooling</h3><div> |
| <p> |
| We're constantly improving the RAP tooling. |
| In this release, we plan to add a IApplication support, a simple WAR |
| export feature, and an editor for CSS theme files. |
| </p> |
| </div><ul><li><b>Committed</b><ul><li>[Tooling] Support launching IApplications [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/303352">303352</a>] <strike>(target milestone: 1.4 M1)</strike></li><li>[Tooling] Create WAR product tooling [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/315467">315467</a>] <strike>(target milestone: ---)</strike></li></ul></li></ul><ul><li><b>Proposed</b><ul><li>[Tooling][Themeeditor] Provide editor for RAP theming [<a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/312219">312219</a>] (target milestone: ---)</li></ul></li></ul><h3>Integration with other Eclipse projects</h3><div> |
| <p> |
| We actively support other Eclipse projects to integrate with RAP. |
| We want to keep up the good cooperation with Riena and EMF, started |
| in the previous release cycle, and also look into other Eclipse |
| projects that could leverage RAP. |
| </p> |
