Eclipse Rich Client Platform
The Definitive Guide to Eclipse Rich Client Development
In Eclipse Rich Client Platform, Second Edition, three Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) project leaders show how to use Eclipse 3.5 (“Galileo”) to rapidly deliver cross-platform applications with rich, native-feel GUIs.
The authors fully reveal the power of Eclipse as a desktop application development platform; introduce important new improvements in Eclipse 3.5; and walk through developing a full-featured, branded RCP application for Windows, Linux, Mac, and other platforms―including handheld devices and kiosks.
Drawing on their extensive experience, the authors cover building, refining, and refactoring prototypes; customizing user interfaces; adding help and software management features; and building, branding, testing, and shipping finished software. They demonstrate current best practices for developing modular and dynamically extensible systems, using third-party code libraries, packaging applications for diverse environments, and much more.
For Java programmers at all levels of experience, this book
Hands-on, pragmatic, and comprehensive, this book offers all the real-world, nontrivial code examples working developers need―as well as “deep dives” into key technical areas that are essential to your success.

It's not friendly for beginners.

Lots of information that you need to be aware of to build RCP applications. I didn't find it particularly engaging to read, and unclear in parts. I didn't like the way they introduced deprecated or non-preferred ways of doing things before the preferred ways in a few places. Why waste the readers time? I thought the use of screen captures of the eclipse outline view to show the methods of various API classes was just lazy - that's text, and would have been easier to view in electronic form if presented as such.

When making RCP applications, this is a must have desk reference.
Its a bit lacking in some detail here and there, but its the best of the bunch.
RCP can be a complicated topic due to a fairly Byzantine class structure, hence be prepared to draw from a number of different sources in order to make progress, and this should definitely be one of them.
