During the implementation of a major financial application for a large financial institution, we learned a lot about how to use Eclipse RCP as an application platform and especially some of the short-comings of the current platform.

This long talk goes through some of the lessons we learned and discusses some of the changes that could be made to Eclipse RCP to get a better platform for enterprise applications.

Tonny Madsen is a log term user and developer of the Eclipse platform and has among other things reported more than 80 bugs for 5 different major releases (and still counting). Tonny has 5 years of experience with the Eclipse platform (since version 2.0) and more than 20 years of experience with software development and system architecture.

Now, Tonny is the CEO of The RCP Company, an independent software development company that is specialized in development, training, consultancy and independent products based on the Eclipse™ platform, Rich Client Platform, and the corresponding technologies and tools.

Tonny is also the chairman of Eclipse.dk, the Danish Eclipse Society.
