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

19. )(
Device Integration
