Hello Team,
I have an eclipse RCP tool, which uses EMF, GMF , SWT, JFACE and Nebula
technologies. now I would like to make this as a web based application. I
know, chaning this tool to web based take hell lot of time. and i heard
about this RAP , also heard that you can direclt deploy your RCP
application to web without changing using this RAP, is this true?
Thank you

Hi,
it's true that RAP allows to deploy an RCP application on a webserver
with very few changes but seldom without any changes at all. The reason
is that we only provide (growing) subsets of the SWT, JFace and the
Workbench APIs. The coverage of these subsets is pretty broad already,
but some functionality is still missing, such as GC, KeyEvents...
I know that some people have experimented with EMF and there is also
some research going on for implementing graphical editors. However, both
EMF and GEF does not work out-of-the-box yet.
I don't know if anyone has already tried to port Nebula.
If your application uses all these frameworks, you will likely have to
wait or mirgrate only parts of your application.
Best regards,
Ralf

Hi Glamakid,
with regards to EMF: the biggest blocker is that RAP currently does not
support CellEditors. This causes problems for the Editors generated
through EMF and requires some modifications to EMF to make it work with RAP.
Details and a prototype here:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=213988
http://ed-merks.blogspot.com/2008/01/emf-and-rap-go-great-to gether-too.html
GMF and Nebula is going to be problematic since RAP does not support GC
(i.e. painting in the Browser) and these technologies are likely to make
use of that.
Regards,
Elias.
