So, (RCP) = (Platform offerings that each project has), correct?
Would that be a bit like jumping into the river with both feet after
your second swimming lesson? I looked them over (them being the docs)
for an hour or two and decided that it was too advanced for my grasp.
It may be a bit overwhelming at first, but the benefits it brings to
the table are enormous. I have a Java-Swing-Batik application that I
developed the old-fashioned way (Without RCP), and by the third
iteration, it had become an awful Frankenstein, specifically
feature-wise, since adding a new feature was so interrelated all over
the app. (This app grew well beyond its initial design). Now we are
looking to reengineer it using RCP, and it is a real eye opener how
much work can be avoided by taking advantage of the RCP. Consider
diving into RCP like a crash course in Diving, instead of a two-year
program to get Diving certificate. It may be rough, but I say it is
worth the extra effort.
I'm not so sure... There are plugins to display SVG in Eclipse. Now,
mind you, I haven't looked into their implementation, and nor have I
gotten it to work (just installed it yesterday), but it seems to
proclaim itself well on the site.

If I could nail down just how they did this, I think the SWT vs Swing
question would be back under consideration. (Which is basically taking
me back to square one, which I hate because it makes me feel like I am
spinning my wheels.)
This plugin is from Dirk Lemmermann, and he is using SWT_AWT. I have it
installed on my windows system, and it works perfectly. But it fails to
run on OS X. (10.3.9 and 10.4)
I know exactly how you feel, I wish both the guys at Eclipse and-or
Apple found a solution for this, since it is not only Batik the one
suffering from this problem, there are a number of Eclipse plugins that
fail to work on mac as well because they rely on AWT (like GUI
builders, etc...)
Best regards,
Andres.
