Can the RTC eclipse client be extended?
One answer
By the "native rtc client", I assume you mean the Eclipse client you can download from jazz.net that already has the RTC plugin installed? What made you think that you couldn't extend this client? You would just use the normal Eclipse mechanisms to add in your additional plug-ins. I have seen some cases where a plug-in is not well behaved (i.e. it stomps on already installed plug-ins), and so it is sometimes better to first install that plug-in, and then install the RTC plug-in (which is well behaved, and does not stomp on already installed plug-ins).

I have built up a multi-function eclipse a couple ways
my plugins are WTP app dev, Android App dev, perl app, SFDC app plugin, and of course RTC.
1. base eclipse, add plugins, including RC P2
2. RTC shipped eclipse with P2 pre-installed, add other plugins..
some conflicts I could never figure out, been a few years since I tried this.
3. multi-function eclipse, add RTC P2, add other plugins.
generally depends on how much work you want to do. I have been saving the working eclipse folder, and copying, then adding more plugins.. use same eclipse workspaces
