Tooling Update Site

This is the most convenient way to get RAP. The update site contains the target platform that is also available as a separate download, bundled with useful tools, documentation and examples. See the getting started guide for a detailed description on how to install RAP using the update site.

The RAP update site is
http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/update-site

We also provide zipped versions for download
   rap-sdk-1.1.1-SR1-site-20080917-1637.zip for use with Eclipse 3.3 and 3.4

Target Platform

Since RCP and RAP bundles within the same instance do not work, we provide target platforms for download.

After downloading, extract the file in a convenient location, say c:\target and start Eclipse. Open Window > Preferences, go to the Plug-in Development > Target Platform preference page, set the Location to the eclipse sub-directory of the extracted archive (e.g. c:\target\eclipse). Finally click Reload. You should see the just downloaded plug-ins appear in the Plug-ins list.

Note: if doing this with a workspace that already contains projects that depend on the target, you may get compile errors. Restarting Eclipse and/or doing a clean build will help.
