What initially was an IDE for Java applications (the first version of Eclipse) transformed into a robust and scalable platform for general-purpose client applications (Eclipse RCP), and now the same technology powers a server-side platform that multiple concurrent users can access via their browser (Eclipse RAP). - Ricardo Govoni

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could write your application once and then reuse the code in both a) a “fat client” for high interactivity and offline usage, and b) a “thin client” inside a web browser for ubiquitous access with zero install? The Eclipse Rich Ajax Platform (RAP) library provides one way to do just that. - Ed Burnette

It's about to get a whole lot easier for web developers to develop Ajax rich internet applications. With RAP 1.0 there is a single sourcing of code with RCP meaning one code base can serve both desktop and web based applications. Code reuse is a key benefit of being part of Eclipse for RAP as developers don't need to start from scratch. - Sean Michael Kerner

RAP is hot…RAP is pretty innovative and definitely scores very high on the “wicked cool” scale. If you haven’t already, you should take a look. - Wayne Beaton

…it is really rare to see really innovative and really useful open-source projects. Kudos to the foundation for maintaining an environment where such ideas are born. - Vineet Sinha

From eclipse.org/rap/buzz:

Only one code [for] several platforms, finally almost! - Defert Philippe

If you haven't toyed with RAP, I suggest you try it out... because it's one of the coolest things I played with in awhile. - Chris Aniszczyk

Simply a awesome project! - Alphonse Van Assche

"RAP enables coding in Java, developing the UI with SWT, JFace and Workbench extension points, running the application on the server, and accessing it with a browser. What do we need (more than this)?" - Joel Oliveira

RAP brings the best of desktop development to the web. Love it. - Tiago

Brilliant contribution, this is a seriously cool Eclipse Project for Javadevelopers wanting to move to AJAX development! - Lucas Bigeardel

RAP just took the task of developing highly interactive web applications to another level. - Patrick Machado

Great framework, keep going! - Joao Nuno Silva

A very nice project. Keep the good work! - Nevess

This new approach to the development of web applications is awesome. All Java developers become web enabled and migration of desktop applications becomes almost immediately... - Pedro Silva

Great project! - Paulo Abreu

One step forward in java web-based development. Good work!! - Mauricio

RAP is Great! - Pedro Loureiro
