Wow, that's a big question! The best way to learn these concepts is to
utilize the resources on the Eclipse web site, starting with the RCP wiki
page.
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Rich_Client_Platform
Also, there are two very good books that will walk you through these
concepts:
http://www.amazon.com/Eclipse-Rich-Client-Platform-Applicati ons/dp/0321334612/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-4665879-7678307?ie=UTF 8&s=books&qid=1178113709&sr=8-1
http://www.amazon.com/Eclipse-Building-Commercial-Quality-Pl ug-ins-2nd/dp/032142672X/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_b/104-4665879-76 78307?ie=UTF8&qid=1178113709&sr=8-1
But to answer at least a small part of your question, here is an outline
of an RCP application:
Workbench - non-visual, high-level container for windows
Workbench window - window containing a menu, toolbar, page, and
status line. A workbench can contain one to many
windows.
Page - Each window has one page which represents the area where
perspectives are displayed.
Part - A page contains a set of parts (views or editors)
arranged by perspectives.
Also, advisors are classes that allow you to make changes to the workbench
and workbench windows at various points in their lifecycle. They're
usually used to configure these elements when your application starts up.
A site is the way that parts gain access to the "outside world".
And finally, a service can really be anything. The best way to understand
services in RCP is to look at specific examples (menuing service,
selection service, etc.)
I hope this helps a bit. RCP can seem a bit daunting at first, but it's
not that bad once you get started.
