I'm using Eclipse's Rich Client Platform (RCP) for the Durham project I'm getting started on. The RCP has a notion of features (a group of plugins) which can be updated over the Internet.

This is convenient for deployment because users don't need to keep checking your website and mess with installers to be up to date. I'd really like to use this update mechanism to release updates as often as weekly, which is a lot faster than the version numbers in Eclipse change.

The first step is to get the absolute bare minimum amount of stuff working so I can make the first release and start the ball rolling. The application itself will be a scaled down version of the old AudioMan project. I still haven't figured out what to call the application that does audio files -- only the platform is called Durham.

The user interface will be a two paned window, with a table on the left and a form on the right. The user can add audio files to the table and then select one of them and view and edit its metadata in the form. There's no storage, the table is cleared every time the application is closed. For now I'm going to call this GUI the Quick Edit Perspective.
