I'm really struggling to understand what you're looking for Alex. You
mention PFC which is a UI library for Powerbuilder and seems to offer pretty
much the same sort of services as Windows Forms and System.Data. You also
mention Eclipse which is an IDE. You then ask for a more abstract set of
classes than .NET offers, but you don't indicate in what way the .NET
classes aren't abstract enough.

I'm also not sure what you mean by RCP, or RC? Could you explain those
acronyms and maybe I can get a clearer idea of what you're looking for.
