<p><strong>Ottawa, Canada – February 15, 2013 </strong>– The <a href="http://eclipse.org/rap/">Eclipse Remote Application Platform (RAP)</a> project has announced the RAP 2.0 release. This new release represents 
a significant engineering effort that transforms RAP from a platform for creating browser-based rich internet applications to a universal platform for 
creating applications that target many different types of devices, including native mobile platforms, point-of-sale devices, inventory control devices, etc. </p>

<p>Mobile development and M2M development have made support for multiple types of devices an important requirement for enterprise application development. 
RAP 2.0 introduces a new JSON-based communications protocol that allows Java applications to be written once, deployed on a server, and then support a native 
client look-and-feel supported on a range of different target devices and platforms, such as iOS, Android, web browsers, and others. The RAP protocol makes it 
significantly easier to support applications on new clients without re-writing the applications for each new device platform.</p>

<p>RAP 2.0 also includes the following new and improved features:
<ul>
<li>A new Client-API for discovery of services that are provided by the respective client implementation. These services can, for example, open documents, execute script code, or determine the current geo-position. Each client application can provide its own services.
<li>Simplified creation of custom widgets and add-ons. Custom widgets can communicate directly with the client and server components via the RAP protocol.
<li>A faster table widget for displaying large amounts of data.
</ul>
</p>
<p>Eclipse RAP 2.0 is now available for <a href="http://eclipse.org/rap/downloads/">download</a>. More details about the 2.0 release can be found in the <a href="http://eclipse.org/rap/noteworthy/2.0/"New and Noteworthy</a> document.
