> Eclipse 3.1 now allows you to easily create Rich Client Platform applications out of existing plugins. I have enabled the Forrest plugin to generate an RCP application. This now allows us to create a standalone product based on the plugin. 
> I think this is important to do since the plugin is becoming more functional, at some point it may be useful to create a standalone application that will allow users to create and manage Forrest project through an IDE. With the RCP, it is now simply a matter of clicking on the forrest.product file and generating the application. 
> What still needs to be done is the definition in the RCP's perspective of the views, editors, wizards etc that need to be included in the application.
