Krishnakumar Pooloth

We have developed an online tool to generate a gwt theme for a user- specified color. The generated theme is similar to the gwt standard theme.

Cross Site JSON with GWT Designer

By dgirard on Tuesday 16 September 2008, 00:06

Chad Lung

This is the third tutorial in my series that takes the GWT Getting Started Tutorial and modifies it for Instantiations GWT Designer.  With this tutorial I'll focus on getting cross site JSON from a simulated third party server which will be hosted locally but powered by the same Python web server the GWT tutorial uses.  We start with a very quick look at introducing JSON for those that might not have seen it before.  Then we'll look into the SOP - Same Origin Policy issue that comes up with cross sites calls and work around it by using JSNI.  This tutorial assumes you have read the first two tutorials in this series before proceeding with this one.

GWT RPC with GWT Designer

By dgirard on Tuesday 9 September 2008, 19:17

Chad Lung

"There has been a lot of good feedback in regards to the first GWT + GWT Designer tutorial that was posted a couple days ago so I've decided to add a second one.  This second tutorial will be again be using the GWT and the GWT Designer by Instantiations.  In this tutorial I'll cover RPC just like it's covered in the original GWT getting started RPC tutorial, except of course we will be using GWT Designer.  This tutorial will build upon the first tutorial and enahnce the Stock Watcher web app to get it's stock data from the server versus just getting it directly from the JavaScript on the client's browser.  In the end we will have a more real world web application."

Tutorial GWT Designer

By dgirard on Tuesday 9 September 2008, 08:02

Chad Lung

I've created a GWT Designer tutorial based off of the GWT team's "Getting Started Tutorial".  This tutorial hopes to allow the many people moving into the GWT world an easier approach by using one of the leading tools out there: GWT Designer by Instantiations.  I've been pleased with the tool and think many developers can benefit from it's ease of use.  As time moves on I'll be adding more tutorials to assist developers to easily move to GWT.  Feedback and comments are appreciated and will help to make future tutorials better.

Instantiations Updates GWT Designer in support of GWT 1.5

By dgirard on Wednesday 3 September 2008, 10:25

Instantiations announces major updates to coincide with the GWT 1.5 release.  GWT Designer now also has added basic support for popular widget kits GWT-EXT and MyGWT.

GWT Designer  is the leading GUI building plug-in for GWT and become very popular since its launch in late 2006. Based on Instantiations award-winning WindowBuilder product, GWT Designer is an Eclipse-based graphical user interface (GUI) creation tool supporting features such as drag-and-drop GUI building and bi-directional code generation, providing several useful wizards that help make GWT development easier.  It allows developers to focus on creating and testing rich Internet applications using Eclipse, Java and GWT without worrying about the complexities of AJAX coding. GWT Designer uses wizards, WYSIWYG builders, composites, layouts and controls.

Price and Free Trial

GWT Developer is available through an annual subscription of $59 for one year, $99 for 2-years, $139 for 3-years (all of which include one year of support), or a perpetual license for $124 with one year of support. Current up-to-date subscription holders of GWT Designer can upgrade to the new versions at no cost as part of their annual license. A two-week trial is also available.

Cypal Studio for GWT - back to basics

By dgirard on Tuesday 26 August 2008, 16:38

David Kuhn

Cypal Studio for GWT allows you to hook into your existing GWT SDK and add the GWT facet to your new/existing WTP project. From there you can go on developing your GWT application as you would a regular Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse and add the GWT stuff as you go. IMO this is a fantastic piece of work and really lowers the barrier to entry for developers new to GWT scene but who are already familiar with Eclipse.

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.

News from the new version of GWT Designer

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!

I invite you to read the full thread, it's very interesting.

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
