Deutsche VersionEclipse E4: A Critique
At work, I’m developing on a large internal application based on the Eclipse Rich Client Platform, which is basically the foundations of the Eclipse IDE made available for everyone else, too. As platforms go, it’s alright, I guess, but it does have its share of weirdness. For example, why do I have to dispose [colors](http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fapi%2Forg%2Feclipse%2Fswt%2Fgraphics%2FColor.html) once I’m done with them!?[^1](#) But with a healthy amount of helper functions, it’s all manageable.
