Pros
Pro You can use any JVM language
Java, Clojure, JRuby, Groovy, Kotlin are some options.
Pro You can embed a lot of Eclipse technologies to your application, such as BIRT for reports for example.
Know any positive aspects of this option?
Cons
Con It is worth only for serious B2B applications and rich professional tools, not for consumer applications
It is because JVM is very huge prerequisite to have on consumer's machine.
Also JVM uses more memory, than native technologies.
Also Rich Client Platform applications looks specific, that is OK for Business applications, but weird for consumer products.
I would recommend EclipseRCP as an alternative to modern web SPA (Single Page Application) approach in B2B sector.
Know any negative aspects of this option?
