Use of RCP/OSGi or "General Java" [message #1694915]

I like to develop further software which is written in RCP, but yet I don't know anything about RCP. I roughly understand the existing code structure and probably could separate the engine code from the RCP wrapper code. So I am wondering if it's worth to learn RCP and develop it in RCP or if I should separate the engine code and write new code for the user interface in "general Java" with Buttons, ActionListeners and so on.

What would you recommend if you have learnt RCP? Is it difficult and take long time to learn it? How did you learn it? Do you know a book or tutorial you could learn it in an easy way?

Please google. There is lots of information.
I advise to take an RCP course. It will learn you everything in 5 days for
around 1500 to 2000 dollars.

You can buy books on Rich Client Platform. Before you start, you have to know whether the software you are working on is built on Eclipse 3.x Framework or Eclipse 4. Buy the book accordingly.
