title: Which Rich Client Platform to use
body: <p>We recently started to develop a Java desktop app and management has requested that we make use of Rich Client Platform. I know of four for Java namely:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Eclipse RCP - <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Rich_Client_Platform" rel="noreferrer">www link to ecipse rcp</a>,</li>
  <li>Netbean RCP - <a href="http://platform.netbeans.org/" rel="noreferrer">Netbeans RCP web site</a>,</li>
  <li>Spring RCP - <a href="http://spring-rich-c.sourceforge.net/1.0.0/index.html" rel="noreferrer">spring rich client</a></li>
  <li>Valkyrie RCP - <a href="https://www.gitorious.org/valkyrie-rcp/pages/Home" rel="noreferrer">Valkyrie rich client</a> </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Has anyone got any experience in any of these and if so what are the strength and weaknesess of each?</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
