there is also an easy way to invoke ant tasks from maven and just easily using GWT compiler straight from Maven without any plugins. Look here for how:

I'm using maven with GWT too and gxt 1.2 is up there somewhere (downloads just fine from somewhere via Nexus)...

I've done it - and would recommend using latest Jetty with Continuations and Spring MVC for this (e.g. spring MVC wrapping a raw GWT rpc - or you can also use json it doesn't particularly matter)....

I found another pretty good option for charting, for whoever is interested - it's kinda similar to fusion charts, Flash-based, just seems to be more liberal in licensing (it's no OSS, but lets you...

I also feel it would be beneficial to provide a better level of interoperability between GWT and GXT - e.g. being able to easily use GXT widgets in GWT layouts and vice versa. However, not sure...

zaccret, thanks for the link - that's the FSF response I was referring to all along just couldn't find it (it was originally posted in the old mygwt forum).

[by sheesh-kebab]

From what I remember from FSF reponse was related to impossibility under GWT to satisfy conditions outline sections 4 (d) (1) of LGPL, given that GWT produces statically linked output with no ability...

gslender,

There was an official response from FSF on this. Check with Darrel on where the post went. Or double check with FSF - I'm sure they'll clear it up again (or maybe just leave it up to...

there was this lengthy discussion on this over on the mygwt forum at some point (with a reply from FSF on the matter), however that post is now gone somewhere. Here is the link to the thread on the...

oh, didn't notice OFCGWT is now LGPL - which is kinda bad and is not really useable in commercial projects based on GWT - or really any closed source GWT projects (GWT obviosly has a compiler that...

[by sheesh-kebab]

yey, finally it seems to have been finalized. LGPL it is then (it used to be GPL in the pre-beta releases)

as of now, Gwt-Ext reflects fully ExtJs 2.0 javascript library, which is a bit more complete feature-wise than GXT. GXT has been catching up quite fast lately though, and it will probably match (at...

[by sheesh-kebab]

GXT or Ext GWT is 100% GWT/Java project developed by ExtJs and based on previously available library called MyGwt.

GWT-EXT is an ExtJs derived project and developed independently from ExtJs. It...

ofc4j is not for GWT - OFCGWT is however, and will work for easy embedding OFC2 charts into GWT. I think however that the combination of OFC4J and OFCGWT could be pretty nice too - although not sure....

none of us lawers here (although there are plenty of developers who tend to be) - but basically if you "distribute" your "combined" stuff in some way then yeah, you have to make your source public,...

[by sheesh-kebab]

you mean timer-based polling of a datasource (a web service)? It depends on the amount of data - desktop apps usually rely on platform specific binary data transfer formats that are very fast and...

Hi -
just wanted to let everyone now about a new blog I kicked off over the weekend - http://gwtnow.com - on various gwt-related matters. I hope you'll find it interesting and useful. Some current...

I've written plenty of swing stuff in my time, and I rarely had to use maps to generalize models for tables and other widgets (Are maps are great for writing generalized/metadata driven apps -...

[by sheesh-kebab]

disregarding some rants in the post, I agree with the points - I've also noticed some generics abuse. My guess is that some of the things happened due to attempts to approximate extjs javascript api...

this past week I got a chance to use somewhat slow non-us broadband internet connection. Of course, I couldn't resist and hit a few GWT apps to try out their performance - including GXT explorer...

[by sheesh-kebab]

it seems like performance is getting better (at least it's getting snappier on my dev 4cpu 8gig system :) ). seriously, explorer2 preview is noticeable faster than what I remember.

Darrell, sorry, I didn't mean to create anymore work for you with my post - Apache 2.0 license is compatible just with EPL 1.0, so the fix could have been a piece of cake;)

in terms of charting, there is simply no perfect way to do highly interactive and accessible charting in web browsers without relying on a plugin such as Flash in web browsers. There are some tricks...
