Do you know Eclipse RCP?
Anyway, I don't want to recommend Eclipse RCP, Eclipse Platform is very complicated.
We can use Spring in desktop application without using Spring Rich Client.

Well, yes - but why re-invent the wheel?

Eclipse RCP is not used to "build Eclipse", it's one of Eclipse plug-in.

Yes - it is - the first entry of the Eclipse RCP FAQ states "... the Eclipse IDE (which is itself an RCP application)...".

Maybe you don't know Eclipse's architecture, Eclipse IDE is not Eclipse, Eclipse IDE is just an Eclipse plug-in.
When talking about "Eclipse", it does mean Eclipse Platform - http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform.
The main reason that Eclipse RCP is active is because IBM wants to make money by using it as Rich Client development platform, not because it's used to develop "Eclipse IDE".
If you're using Eclipse Platform 3.4, you can go to Help -> About Eclipse Platform -> Plug-in Details, you will find Eclipse IDE UI and Eclipse IDE UI Application plug-ins.
