This repository contains the sources of the Eclipse 4 RCP Cookbook.
The branches contain the different steps, so by switching the branches, the steps to reach the state in the master branch can be followed.
This is the basic recipe to get started with an Eclipse Application, the basic concepts and best practices.

This is the food combining recipe, that separates and decouples different parts of the application. It does this by making use of OSGi Declarative Services and OSGi Events.

This is the Thermomix recipe, which actually means that we add the ability to build the Eclipse application without UI integration. To explain the Thermomix analogy, it means that we put everything together in one place and press a button to get the final meal at the end without interaction. :-)

This is the Topping Recipe, which means that we add the ability to update the Eclipse application with additional functions or bugfixes via an update mechanism. For this we use _Eclipse Equinox p2 _ and integrate it into our application.

This is the Decoration Recipe, which means that we add the functionality that a user can change the behavior or the look&feel of an application by changing preferences. This is done by using Eclipse Preferences with a custom plugin that adapts a plain E4 preferences mechanism.

This is the Veggie Recipe, which means that we use an alternative UI technology with our Eclipse application. So it is like an alternative to meat (SWT). But instead of doing a full SWT to JavaFX migration, we integrate JavaFX controls to the SWT based Eclipse application.
The original blog post can be found here: Add JavaFX controls to a SWT Eclipse 4 application – Eclipse RCP Cookbook
