A rich client platform (RCP) is a programmer tool that makes it easier to integrate independent software components,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title = What Is a Rich Client Platform? )〕 where most of the data processing occurs on the client side.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title = CHAPTER 1: Introduction > What Is a Rich Client Platform? - Pg. 3 )〕 It is a software consisting of the following components: * A core (microkernel), lifecycle manager * A standard bundling framework * A portable widget toolkit * File buffers, text handling, text editors * A workbench (views, editors, perspectives, wizards) * Data binding * Update manager With a RCP, programmers can build their own applications on existing computing platforms. Instead of having to write a complete application from scratch, they can benefit from proven and tested features of the framework provided by the platform. Building on a platform facilitates faster application development and integration, while the cross-platform burden is taken on by the platform developers. The platform allows the seamless integration of independent software modules like graphic tools, spreadsheets and mapping technologies into a software application with a simple click of the mouse.〔 Their creators claim that programs built with RCP are portable to many operating systems while being as rich as client-server applications which use so called fat clients or traditional clients. Open-source examples are the ''Eclipse'', ''NetBeans'' and ''Spring Framework'' RCPs for Java. ==See also== * rich client * Component-based software engineering 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rich client platform」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
