My experience
I have for the past month been working on creating Rich Clients using Eclipse.
It's pretty easy - even I understand it...
The sideeffect is that I also learned quickly to develop plugins for the Eclipse IDE-platform.

The Book
I've got a copy of the book Eclipse Rich Client Platform which is a really good tutorial with a step-by-step guide how to develop a chat client called Hyperbola.
It walks you through everything and is a must-have when starting developing Rich Clients and/or plugins.
