In this tutorial,we are creating an RCP application to inform the user of current weather temperatures in major cities of Canada. We will use our previous lab 2 classes and alter them according to our specification for this lab. For reference material, we are using [http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseRCP/article.html#architecture_overview Eclipse RCP] and [http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseJFaceTable/article.html#jfaceviewers Eclipse JFace Table] tutorial.
==Prerequisites==
*Download [http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-rcp-and-rap-developers/heliossr2 Eclipse RCP & RAP Developer]
*Run Eclipse
*Select/Enter your preferred workspace in the text box provided and click okay
*Redo the same step previously to run the application and your window should be larger and have both header and footer bars.

==Configure Your Run==
*To ensure your application has all the resources, files, etc. required to run, we need to modify the "Run Configuration" for our application.
*Right-click the "MANIFEST" file, scroll down to "Run As", and then highlight and click "Run Configurations..."

*The "Run Configurations" window is now present. From here, click on the Plug-in tab and check the box "Validate plug-ins automatically prior to launching" and click Apply. This will essentially provide you with all the plug-ins needed for your program to work during runtime.
