I would like to create installer for Eclipse RCP application. What is the best way to do this? It is possible?

Eclipse Platform Version: 3.6.1

+1  A: 

In a plug-in project, create a product configuration.

Configure it. On the Dependencies tab, the "Add required plug-ins" button is your friend.

Build the product -- e.g., through the "Exporting" section on the Overview tab.

Once it's built, you can build an installer with a third-party install tool compatible with the target operating system/s.

More detail is provided in the Eclipse FAQ under "How do I create an Eclipse product?"
