I have created this:
https://github.com/eclipse-rap/org.eclipse.rap/issues/398

Has working code, minimal atomic changes, detailed explanations, etc.

I will develop & submit further and probably submit a PR in the very near future.

I am hoping NetXMS will use this to enable the content within panes in the UI to respond to touch nicely with Apple devices (especially the network topology diagram maps).

Nice project. I'm really glad I found NetXMS here on the other side of the pond.

Hi,

Thank you for the effort. I'm not sure you'll be able to push it (judging by other pending issues in RCP/RAP), but there is good news as well - we'll migrate away from RAP in the near future. The new web is built from scratch and not Java-based. It currently exists as an internal beta.
