Applet as substitute for SWT/AWT Bridged component? [message #52384]

Is there a way to embed a Swing component as a java applet in a RAP
application?
I have an existing GUI-Component based on Swing.
In Eclipse RCP I can embed it in a Composite with the SWT/AWT bridge.
But when I would use RAP with the same code the SWT/AWT implementation is
missing.
As the RAP side is browser based, I am wondering if it would be possible
to build a custom RAP widget. The swing component could be embedded in a
applet and that RAP component could be in charge to make that applet
appear in the browser.
Does anybody know if such a workaround would be possible?

I think, the bridge is not implemented, yet, but will be in a future
release:

Hi,

I think such a workaround is possible -in principle. For information about
creating custom widgets you may have a look at
http://help.eclipse.org/help33/topic/org.eclipse.rap.help/he lp/html/advanced/custom-widget.html.
But note that differnt to the RCP approach there would be a need to
encapsulate the communication between the applet and the server side. I mean
if you're using an AWT button (for example) that triggers some action
directly in your RCP application then you have encapsulate such a
functionality and relay the triggered event of the button back to the
server. But as I already mentionend - in principle this should be possible.

Ciao
