Hi all,
I have a couple of questions to those who have experience in delivering
commercial products.
1. How do you delive your product, as a RCP application or plugins?
2. Why do you choose the option in the previous question?
Cheers,

Hi Sakae,
If you can assume that your users are already using Eclipse,
and you can also assume that your users know how to install plugins into
Eclipse,
then you can consider delivering your product as one or more plugins.
I think that these are strong assumptions. If these assumptions are not
valid, then you should consider delivering your product as in RCP
format. Also, if you deliver in RCP format, you should consider
including a JRE with your distribution.
Hope this helps.

I will take a stab at this based on my observations of what other people
have done.

I think it really depends and you might end up doing both. If you have a
standalone application that does not extend an existing Eclipse installation
then an RCP application is probably appropriate. If you have an add-on
tool that extends Eclipse, then plug-ins are probably the way to go.

It can be both: RCP as well as plug-ins. For example: RCP is used as
standalone application (you don't want to see anything which is not
related to your application in the workbench), and plugins where
you application is playing the role of added value to other (bigger)
product.
