Just a thought -
Could the CasEditor package be set up as an Eclipse plugin and install
into a user's Eclipse, as an alternative to being a stand-alone RCP
application?
Pros and Cons:
Pros: It would be much smaller as a binary distribution, it would
perhaps "integrate" better into a user's work-flow (if the user was
using Eclipse), it could be built (using the same build process we're
now using for Eclipse plugins that makes use of the new
maven-bundle-plugin), it would work on more platforms without specific
platform targets (e.g., the Macintosh).
Cons: It wouldn't be a stand-alone program, there might be some work
needed to do it.

The build for the CasEditor package is still missing, but I think
this has to be provided by Joern since I don't know how to build it :-)
I also think that we have platform dependent packages for the
CasEditor, right? Do we have to build them on different machines?
Currently its not possible to build the CasEditor with a build script,
it has to be exported from eclipse.
Yes, there is a delta package which contains the platform dependent
plugins, this means we can build
from one platform for all.
I think we should offer builds for win32 and linux-gtk.
