Rich AJAX Platform (RAP) Project is an open-source software project under the Eclipse Technology Project which aims to enable software developers to build AJAX-enabled rich Internet applications by using the Eclipse development model, plugins and a Java-only API. It can be considered a counterpart for web development to the Rich Client Platform. The API is very similar to RCP so developers who are familiar with RCP can reuse their existing knowledge. RAP encourages the sharing of source code between RCP and RAP applications in order to reduce the development effort for business applications that require both a desktop-based and a web-based front end.
