Adobe AIR API for GWT

By dgirard on Friday 11 April 2008, 07:13

gwt-in-the-aire

Makes the Adobe AIR API available for GWT (using JSNI) and provides a linker to compile Java to JavaScript and produce an AIR application in a single step.

For now, the linker produces an AIR intermediate package (i.e. you later need to sign it using the ADT). I've been able to package the Showcase sample from GWT 1.5. Follow the link in the right pane to try it out.

By dgirard on Sunday 27 January 2008, 18:09

Update : False alarm, thanks Chris

Ed Burnette

Instantiations demonstrated their new GWT Designer at a BOF last night at Eclipse World. According to Eric Clayberg, Sr. VP of Product Development, the response was very enthusiastic.

I hope that GWT Designer will support GWT-Ext, MyGWT and others.
And remember : "Instantiations is giving back to the community by donating its products to committers who are working on non-commercial open source projects."

Selenium and GWT : Automated Client Testing

By dgirard on Thursday 26 April 2007, 12:21

George Georgovassilis :

I use selenium extensively with all my GWT apps - and wouldn't want to live without it. You can use it to cross-platform test your applications in the two major browsers - the selenium team claims it works in almost any browser!

Googlipse is dead, long live Cypal Studio for GWT

By dgirard on Thursday 26 April 2007, 07:29

Pranni :

I’ve created a brand new product called “Cypal Studio for GWT“. It is hosted @ Google Code. Its essentially the same code base (with the same Apache 2.0 license) but with little changes and few bug fixes. So what happens to Googlipse now? Its dead. Means there will be no more bug fixes, no more features.

GWT or J2S ? Java to JavaScript Compilation with AJAX and Spring Integration

By dgirard on Monday 22 January 2007, 11:12

Ben Alex : "For some time I have been interested in client-centric, web-based user interfaces. These Generation IV frameworks are characterised by their component-based, event-driven programming model, and focus on the presentation logic residing entirely on the client. Targeting a web browser in this manner typically necessitates the use of JavaScript or Flash, which in itself imposes a number of unique challenges
[...]
The purpose of this blog entry is not to critique GWT or Open Laszlo. Instead I would like to explore an open source Java to JavaScript compiler named Java2Script Pacemaker (J2S) and present an initial Spring integration
