Thanks for your answer Tom!

Well, probably I didn't express my thoughts the right way: I'm thinking about 
creating a "headless" (aka without GUI) RCP application and then using Jambi 
for that part. I would use the management of plugins, updates etc. of the RCP 
framework but insted using the UI parts of the RCP I would use Qt.

Is that a possibility or did I forget something important about this?
