Hi,

I am reading on using SWT/JFace as the potential libary for developing
tools for one of our depts - I understand that I can use the SWT/JFACE
libraries along with the standard Java SDK, standalone and have no
dependency on eclipse platform.

However, I have been told that there maybe benefits in developing on the
top of an eclipse platform - does that make sense, if so, what does that
exactly means?

I am familiar with the IDE and the plug-in aspects of eclipse. I would use
eclipse as an "IDE" for the actual development. But right now there is no
need to deploy the product as a plug-in. In such situation, what is the
benefit of developing the GUI desktop application on the top of an eclipse
platform rather than a standalone. Please let me know.

Thanks.

Anima.
