I think Adobe AIR (the Ajax stuff, not Flex) is the way to go with
this, especially AIR 2.0 which have a more recent Webkit with HTML5/
CSS3 stuff in it.
Does anybody have experience/advice in building a rich client app
based on Eclipse RCP?
The app is a data entry utility that needs to operate in offline
mode as well as connect to a web service. The general idea is to do
data entry to a local (derby or sqllite) db and then do a bulk
export/upload. Sychronization and validation will happen (mostly) on
the main server, but the offline app will do some validation and
sync some data (for lookup lists) when the network is available (on
export or upload for instance).
I would like to use as much of the model and controller
infrastructure from the web app as possible and use the eclipse
platform to provide the app with cross-platform environment.
I've got the web app and command line tools using the same model and
controllers (for the most part) and that makes my life much easier.
One of the last bits of old ad-hoc tools is this offline data entry
piece and my goal is to be able to build this for Mac, Linux and
Windows. I'm leaning toward Eclipse RCP at this time because it's
familiar and I like having the infrastructure of Eclipse to build on.
It's early enough in the process that any experience, advice,
comments are appreciated and there is still time to make changes. I
have an opportunity now to replace the existing offline methods
before we roll out a number of new clients so I need to get a proof
of concept working pretty quickly.
