If I'm not mistaken, Eclipse RCP apps run using SWT, correct?  Pivot apps
are backed at the lowest levels by AWT, so in order to get this to work,
you'd have to use an SWT/AWT bridge, and perhaps write a new
ApplicationContext subclass that performed this bridging behind the scenes.
 We've considered tackling something like this in the past but never got to
it.  If you start working in this, it'd be great if you could share your
experience with it.

You mean live updating as you code your WTKX?  Nothing like that exists so
far, but it'd be a great contribution to the tools sub-project if you wrote
one :)
