# Introduction

## About

The Remote Application Platform (RAP) is a framework for modular, web-based business applications. User interfaces can be developed entirely in Java using a widget toolkit with SWT API, JFace, and databinding. They can, but do not have to use the Eclipse Workbench and Eclipse extension points. Existing RCP applications can be run as Web applications with only minor changes.
