I would like to know how to implement authentication in Eclipse RCP. I have started an app and I have two views, one for admin and one for a regular user. At startup I want to show the login dialog and depending of type of user to show a view. Can anyone tell me which is the best way to do that? Thanks!

I'll suggest you that create a single view for both admin and regular user . Just create different widgets for the admin and regular user . Before creating the view just hook the Login Dialog and on the basis of authentication from the login dialog load the widgets in the view .

There are many different ways to do this :-)
I usually recommend using activities as these are completely independent of the code for the view, perspectives, commands, etc.
See this blog entry on how to set-up the activities.
