You need to define what you mean by RCP project.

VE depends on the Eclipse IDE and several other layers of feature/plugin
function (GEF, EMF, then VE).

If you mean VE as an editor in and RCP application (usually defined as
less than all of the eclipse base), then probably not.

If you mean VE as an editor to develop UI's that will be part of the RCP
Application, sure - nothing special about that at all.

If you mean things that look/work like the VE in an RCP application, then
you probably need to look at GEF itself.

You can use VE to create a customed composite in a UI plugin project. VE does not provide tooling for JFace
components, but you can use the customed panels (generated by VE) in the various createXXXX jFace methods.

Sorry i wasn't very clear as to my intent!... I'm intrigued by the plug-in
and other foundations offered by Eclipse and RCP as an application framework
(particularly the native look and feel)... So i'm looking to do RCP
applications and just want to use a visual environment to perform UI's
layouts for the app... Wasn't sure what the 'recommend' method was to get
the max use from both RCP & VE..
thx again
