Hi Gejay,
sorry that it took me so long to come back to you, but we are all very busy preparing the EclipseCon.
Riena in general can be consumed in pieces. Pieces are:
- riena.core with dependency injection and some core stuff
- riena remote services
- riena ridgets, easy api with additional functionality for markers and validation
- the whole riena including the navigation part
- still you can integration RCP Views into the "whole riena" thingy
Riena also is starting to support controller testing with Riena 2.0. However that means that you seperate Controller and
View (which RCP Views usually dont)
We are using RCP concepts all the way and encourage Dependency Injection which also leads to minimal dependency on Riena
code. However if you dont have our Dependency Injection, you need another one, right ?
If you dont like our navigation concept (which I believe is very powerful and flexible) you need another component that
controls the layout of your RCP app.
Depending on how much of Riena you use will to some degree make that an important part of your app that you need to
replace with something else if you abandon Riena.
I would really suggest that you write a little prototyp with Riena and if you need help, let me know, either on this
newsgroup on riena-dev@eclipse.org or by contacting me in person.
We can also arrange a telco if you need more help or have more questions....
regards

And to be honest.....no one yet wanted to get rid of Riena once he/she got started to use it so far :-)
