GWT API's for Ext

[sjivan]

Last try... :)

======================================================
I've started looking into GWT and think its really cool for Java developers. I think having Ext based GWT Java API's would be very powerful and will greatly help the adoption of Ext among Java developers who often struggle with Javascript.

I already started some work and the results are promising.

I'm not sure if you
a) support this idea and would like to see it develop as a library for others to use under a OS licence
b) see this a competition or something that falls under OEM / Reseller License
c) dont care

I would like your thoughts on this. I'm presently writing Ext GWT classes only for those widgets I'm using in my pet project which I presume is a valid use of Ext under the Open Source Licence.

Thanks,
Sanjiv

Seen this: http://code.google.com/p/gwt-yui-ext/ ?

Perhaps you could hook up with the developer and make it GWT-EXT.

I don't know how he's getting on, or if he's using Ext 1.0+ now instead of yui-ext 0.33

Thanks for the pointer. I did check it out and the project page says "There are no plans to start on a wrapper for the new Ext library". I was looking to build a more complete API which also support listeners and events etc. The question I had was whether Jack is okay with such a library being built and made open source. If I get the go-ahead, I'd be very happy to start cranking out the code.

I presently just started writing GWT API's for a few widgets that I'm using in my pet / non profit project and the results are promising. I would really like to bundle this functionality as a separate library but I'm waiting on Jacks response.

Thanks,
Sanjiv

I myself have started the same.I have some of the widgets converted to GWT classes but not all.
Let me know if you want me to contribute as well.
