Hi Enrico,
maybe I'm misunderstanding what you try to do, but...
RWT (i.e. RAP) offers compile-time compatibility with SWT, _not_ runtime
compatibility. That means you won't be able to use the same class files
for both RCP and RAP, if those classes have dependencies to UI (SWT,
RCP, JFace).
Of course if you are talking about core classes (i.e. datamodels) you
should be able to use those in any setting regardless of the UI technology.
Hope this helps,
Elias.

Hi Stefan, Elias, and Benny,
I'm having trouble using GC. I know that GC doesn't exists in RWT, but
I've created a my own GC class.
The difference was that SWT GC class has the constructor GC(Drawable),
while my GC class has 3 constructors: GC(Control), GC(Image),
GC(Device), because Control, Image, and Device don't implement Drawable.
This situation makes .class binary files to differ from RWT and SWT
version of my jars.
I resolved wrapping the SWT GC class and my GC class to another class
called CompabilityGC zipped in 2 compability jar, one for SWT and one
for RWT.
So I can use the same compiled .class files for SWT and RWT, except for
a little compability jar file.
Thanks to all for the attention,
Enrico
