Tell us more! What kind of interaction are you looking to support? Similar to the webclient or something different? Maybe you would consider starting a wiki page (http://wiki.alfresco.com/) and a forge project (http://forge.alfresco.com/)?

Hi, we are in the process of creating an alternative interface for the ALfresco repository based on the Eclispe RCP plaforms. WE will make available for the community, baded on the JCR-RMI protocol interface:
-a "shell" where all other plugins (PI's) can be added to (completed)
-a login plugin (PI) (completed)
-a treeview on the repository (completed)
-showing & editing details, versions & history viewer
-an image viewer plugin for jpg, jpeg 200 ,analyze7.5 and DICOM image foramts, incling viewing/editing the specific metadata for this types
-a DICOM structured report editor
-a PI for generating Alfresco ACP files
-a category management PI
-etc…
We would make a plea to the community to add other/extra plugins too.
The first source code will be available within 4 weeks from now.
best regards, frans Cornelissen, Technology Office, Pharma R& IT, J&J

Hi. I'm currently integrating the ability to search the Alfresco repository from an Eclipse RCP application and I'm curious why you chose JCR-RMI over the Web Services interface. I'm guessing is a software architecture issue, but perhaps you've experienced problems with the WS approach. Thanks.

Hi;
We chose jcr-rmi because the WS approach is very chatty, meaning it communicates a lot. We did not test using the WS so we do not know wether there are problems or not.
