Welcome to Eclipse RCP MP3 Manager

This is an Eclipse RCP demo application to showcase many of the Eclipse RCP features. Intentionally I did not focus on business logic, that's why I chose a very simple application, a little MP3 Manager. Another purpose of this application is that new Eclipse RCP developers can take a look at some example implementation of common use cases. I hope to improve the code base over time so that many best Eclipse practices are used. Please support me and file bugs :). Here is a (probably incomplete) list of features:

• New: Java WebStart support (launcher see below)
• New: New target platform Eclipse 3.7.0
• New: Integrated Tycho (0.12.0) build!
  • To run the Tycho build, install Maven 3 and run "mvn clean install" in project com.siemens.ct.mp3m.tycho.parent
• New: 3.7.0 compliant headless p2-enabled build
• New: 3.7.0 target definition project
• Minimum execution environment is now Java 5
