Rational® Business Developer provides the feasibility to run the EGL RUI Handler with access to Cordova in the local environment. You can quickly review the changes in VE or external browsers. You don't need to re-sign, re-compile, or reinstall your application to test your the code. EGL Cordova library also provides access to the device APIs that aren't available in web browsers.

Refer to Configuring the render engine of the visual editor for the consideration of VE for mobile development. Refer to Introduction to the EGL Rich UI editor for how to use VE to develop RUI application.
