RapidClipse - we call it the visual Eclipse - is a complete Eclipse distribution for Rapid Java and Cross-Platform-Development. All of the essential tools and plugins you need for developing professional Java, web, mobile and database applications are already preinstalled, preconfigured and optimally matched to each other, e.g. Java SE, JPA, JBoss Hibernate tools, Maven, GIT, Vaadin, the additional RapidClipse IDE tools and the RapidClipse framework. No more annoying and time-consuming Eclipse configurations. Just install and get started immediately like plug & play.
RapidClipse provides a HTML5 GUI builder based on Vaadin, strongly improved Hibernate tools, the free JPA query language JPA-SQL, cross-platform-deployment tools that enable you to deploy any project as a web, mobile or classic Java desktop app.
The integrated RapidClipse framework provides a databinding between Vaadin and Hibernate, fully Hibernate entity lifecycle management, concepts for authentication and authorization, internationalization, UI persistence, a mobile API for creating powerful IoT solutions and much more. The framework bases on the Java Standard Edition and is released as open source under AGPL. The license model is similar to the OpenJDK.
RapidClipse was made for developing business applications running on all major platforms and devices. Never has Java development with Eclipse been this easy, convenient, and fast.
