Why is eRCP important?

•! There are a HUGE number of devices out there that are becoming quite capable Java application platforms

•! Brings OSGi to devices

•! Has extensive rich UI capabilities that are lacking in MIDP

•! Higher level of device abstraction and integration

•! eRCP can be the next step up from MIDP

•! Great platform for mobile mash-ups

)(

Device Integration

•! Seamless integration with native desktop

!*

•! Improvement in Lotus Expeditor for Device 6.2

•! Provide platform builder to customize the runtime

•! Jxed classes improve startup time and ram usage

•! Early-start option: Start the runtime when device is started up

•! Performance Indices:

•! RAM Usage: 8.9 MB

•! Startup Time of entire stack with application manager: 19s

•! Startup Time when early-start option is enabled: less than 3s

Mobile Mashup

+ WebKit

!(

•! Introduction of Web 2.0 application model

•! Access to native function from browser, eg. GPS, phone call, etc.

•! Pros :

•! Enable mashup of eSWT applications and browser-based

applications

•! Support offline application

•! Optionally could be a standalone light-weight eclipse-based

browser

•! Cons:

•! Heavy solution: 8MB ROM + 9MB RAM

•! Porting effort is required: WebKit + Lotus Expeditor (mostly java)

WebKit runtime as an Expeditor service
