Tatami is an open source framework, which goal is to wrap dojo toolkit's
widgets in GWT. It is developed by Objet Direct and France Télécom. It is
licensed under LGPL, and hosted on google code.
This new release introduces wrapping of dojo's grid, number spinner and
encryption module, and is distributed for both GWT 1.4 and 1.5. It provides a
convenient way to use dojo widgets in GWT , and already ships widgets such as :
Dopdown date picker, Dropdown time picker, Fisheye menu, Slider, Toaster,
Dojo's GFX module,...

The Dojo Toolkit now has support for multi-file uploads, thanks to the new
Deft project. Thedojox.form.FileUploader class embeds a hidden SWF
file in the page which, when triggered, will open a system dialog that supports
multiple file selection, and also file masks, which allows the user to filter
their selection by file type.
It could be nice to have a multifile Uploader for GWT.

Good technologies have to rely on strong technologies. And there are
some new releases of software that automatically turn the previous version into
a “so old version”. This is exactly what happened to me today when I received
first screen shots of FreeAnalysis Web, GWT version (see bellow). 2 months ago,
we took some risks, by stopping the heavy and costly development of
FreeAnalysisWeb, Dojo version, to start a new development based on GWT.
It is just a announcement, but the feedback on "Dojo vs GWT" is
interesting.

Why Dojo? Well, we are targeting the enterprise, where internationalization
and security are critical. We believe Dojo is creating the best UI toolkit for
enterprise developers.
I'm not sure that Dojo is the best toolkit for enterprise developers ;-)

GWT is a Java-based AJAX framework that lets you write front-end UI
components using Java, then use the GWT compiler to convert them into HTML and
JavaScript files. GWT's programming model also didn't fit well with our
development environment because our team was split between UI developers and
back-end Java developers. Also, the generated HTML/JavaScript code would be
difficult to change if we had browser issues. Finally, building the application
with GWT required us to learn new Java APIs—not good, considering our time and
budget constraints.

I have implemented a Dojo datePicker widget in one of my projects using the
following technique. You may try extending it to support other Dojo widgets to
see if it works.

For the last few weeks I have been trying to integrate back button support
into my companies JSF/Ajax app as an "Undo" feature. I have been using 2
approaches, 1) g4jsf (a subproject of Ajax4JSF) to enable use of GWT, and 2)
dojo.undo.browser.
