Hi;
Although using Eclipse as my ide, I never explored PDE.
Also, Swing has been my j2se gui, until now.
Having expanded my skills to j2ee, I need to enhance my client beyond
basic jsp. I am at a juncture of deciding if to delve into Java Server
Faces.
I researched PDE and RCP, and would likely use it lickety split IF it
includes data-aware controls. Does SWT or JFACE provide an api for
accessing data from servlets or ejb's?
Would you advise a go for JSF or RCP plus, plus what?
Thank you all;
-nat
ps. I am not onto j2se 5.0 yet. fwiw.

Hi Nat,
not clear what you mean by "I need to enhance my client beyond basic jsp".
In any case, if you need a J2ee dev environment, take a look at Websphere
Studio Application Developer.
thanks,
Amin

Simple. I would like to use something like Swing as the front-end. The
problem is that Swing does not have data-aware controls. Soooo, I am
hoping that the Eclipse platform+controls can give me this functionality.

Seems interesting. Thanks for the link.

I assume by data aware components, you are looking for something that
you can provide a data source, like a JDBC connection and query or an
XML document, and it determines the datas structure and automatically
produces a table.
SWT/JFace and Eclipse have a lot of good stuff (as mentioned below).
But, as far as data aware components, nothing in Eclipse goes beyond
what Swing has. The structured content providers are analogous to
TableModel or TreeModels in swing. You still have to write the code
that figures out the format of your data and maps it to rows and columns
(in the case of a table).

Exactly.
Thank you much.
