Wade/Julien, thanks for the pointers to the examples.  I definitely will look them over!

We do use Eclipse here and have had great luck with it, so I'll also take a look at Wade's related wiki article.  I did a little Eclipse plug-in development to support our general dev efforts, and that's what got me thinking how slick it would be to front-end our whole system with RCP.  I had to do some classloading work to bridge Equinox with our incumbent component management system, but once that was out of the way things started clicking into place (but that's getting off topic).  I initially feared that the limited early OpenGL support in SWT/RCP would kill the idea, but my later testing with JOGL 1.1.1a seemed to support everything we needed.  It's encouraging to hear that you've had some field experience with this combination and that it's been working well.

I'll be staying tuned in to SWT-related discussion on the forum and will try to participate on some level when time permits.
