Hi all,

We've identified the need to find a thick client application framework
with some serious plug-in capabilities and are looking at Eclipse to
do it rather than go and build something ourself.  I've looked around
a lot and can find tons of stuff about using Eclipse as an IDE, but
not much about using it as an application framework.  Here are a few
questions that I have:

1.  Can you 'Scale Down' Eclipse to remove all of the program
generation stuff?  We would like something that is pretty light to
download over the LAN.

2.  Can anyone direct me to a good reference about using Eclipse as an
application framework?  All the books that I can find are all about
using it as an IDE.

Thanks in advance for any help!
