From the Eclipse EMF Client Platform web page:

The EMF Client Platform is a framework for building EMF-based client applications. The goal is to provide reusable, adaptable and extensible UI components to develop applications based on a given EMF model. All components can be used stand-alone and be embedded into your own application.

The Eclipse Rich Client Platform allows you to construct a general GUI using the GUI components of Eclipse.

The Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) Client Platform allows you to build form based business GUI's and create custom EMF components for form based business GUI's.

I've created RCP applications. I've not used the EMF Client Platform.
