App server from within RCP [message #94868]

I suspect this is possible - and I'm seeing a lot of pieces that suggest
it is - but I can't form a coherent picture. And so..

I've got an RCP app. I want to embed an application server within the
RCP app so that:

- The user interacts with the RCP app.
- At some point, the RCP app can open the users external web browser.
- The browser interacts with the application server within the RCP app.

This strikes me as exactly what the help system does today. Right?

What is the best path to accomplish this, ideally under 3.2?

TIA.

Yes. This is exactly what the help system is doing. They are using the Jetty
based implementation of the OSGi Http Service.

In 3.3 the Jetty based Http Service comes packaged with the SDK. The various
bundles you need should also work with 3.2.
You might take a look at http://eclipse.org/equinox/server to get started.
