    abstract     = "The goal of the thesis is to investigate and present a way of re-engineering Eclipse {RCP} applications. As a case study, {RED} - {''}REquirements eDitor{''} have been chosen. {RED} is a one of the major tools for the 02264 Requirements Engineering course at {DTU,} and as such is being extensively used throughout the course, resulting in a number of feature requests that are currently difficult to implement due to the poor architecture. {RED} is also a typical example of an Eclipse {RCP} developed purely for providing a huge number of features, while neglecting the maintainability aspect, which resulted in a major roadblock in further development. The re-engineering process will cover the improvements that could be made to the build process, the high-level architecture and the actual implementation at a plug-in level, all of which will contribute to the overall Eclipse {RCP} maintainability."
