Pierre Mage :
With Google Chrome release, Didier Girard announces on onGWT : "the browser is the platform".
But the platform is not dead yet. For instance, GWT in the AIR just released its Milestone 1 version. A quick reminder: the aim of this project is to allow the development of AIR applications, i.e. desktop applications running on top of the Adobe AIR runtime, from GWT code.
GWT in the AIR makes the Adobe AIR API available for GWT using JSNI. This project also provides tools to ease "GWT in Adobe AIR" development includint test tools. The weakness of this project is its lack of documentation but it seems to be progressing. For the moment, the showcase and Adobe AIR documentation should be your starting points.
