Add RCP information on this web site.

I opened a general issue in the IDE WG about RCP promotion in general here : eclipse-wg/ide-wg/community#76

Actually the eclipseide.org web site allow the visitors to :

• download and use the IDE
• contribute to the IDE

But there is no information about RCP : "how to create a RCP Application", while the IDE quarter release contains a new RCP release with a lot of bug fixes...

We have a very powerful Java platform, which follows the latest version of the JDK and is not promoted at all ... !

I open this issue to open the discussion to make "RCP" more visible.

I propose to add a new menu "Eclipse RCP" in the main menu :

And rename the "Get Started" to "Get Started with the IDE" and add another link "Get Started with RCP" in this banner :

For the menu content, we could imagine to have only few pages :

• the OSGI/RCP Architecture
• how to use RCP to build your application
• the future of the Eclipse RCP Platform (releases, IDE WG...)
• RCP Applications examples
• RCP Professional Services (optionally)

The goal of these pages is not to reinvent the wheel but to drive the visitors to an existing and valuable content about RCP, like the Lars Vogel Tutorial for instance. We could also mention other tooling like MAT (Memory Analyzer Tooling) or Mission Control (hosted in the adoptium project)

It could also summarize the main trends of the IDE WG (without reading all the IDE WG web pages proposed in the Working group menu)...

What I would like to avoid is people looking for RCP information, typing "Eclipse RCP " on google and coming up with this obsolete tutorial : https://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-RCP-1/tutorial1.html (dating from 2004 and updated in 2006)...

Let's talk about it...
