How do you create a Rich Client Application from an existing plug in? By
existing plug in I mean a plug in that was created using the New Plug-in
Project wizard but where you didn't initially select the option to create
a rich client application? Is it possible to subsequently convert this
plug in to run as a rich client application and if so how?
Thanks
Martin

You could create a new plug-in that is an RCP and have it use your
existing plug-in or you could create a new RCP plug-in and add your
existing code to that new code base. Basically you will have to add your
existing items to the new plugin.xml and perspective factory.
