IBM proposed another AJAX project to Eclipse in January called ATF (AJAX Toolkit Framework). However, RAP is different than, but complementary to, ATF.

ATP can be used to build components (widgets) for RAP, as RAP is encapsulating HTML, CSS [Cascading Stylesheets] and JavaScript into Java components."
Eclipse already has a Rich Client Platform, which is an operating-system-independent platform that provides a user experience that is consistent with that of the native operating system.
