GWT Mosaic is a widget library for RIA application based on the standard GWT widgets and event model, and, is also based on the gwt-dnd libary for all drag & drop operations. GWT Mosaic is not an alternative to the GWT's widgets, it tries to extend GWT by providing new widgets like the layout managers or use widgets from other frameworks like GWT Incubator's glasspanel, date picker, tables, trees and more.
The LayoutPanel (which extends GWT's AbsolutePanel) is the corner stone for most of the widgets that are implemented. LayoutPanel is using absolute positioning to layout widgets instead of relying on HTML layout. So far, three layout managers are implemented: FillLayout, BoxLayout and BorderLayout. Another very important widget that is missing from GWT standard widget set is the WindowPanel. WindowPanel is based on GWT's DecoratedPopupPanel and is using gwt-dnd for the moving and resizing.
The goal is to provide a complete widget set by keeping the API as close as possible to the GWT's standard widgets API.
GWT Mosaic is licensed under Apache 2.0 like GWT/GWT Incubator and gwt-dnd.

Thanks to Olivier Chedru for the news.

GWT Ext 2.0 was the buzz of this week. And because in opensource, the success is always correlated with visibility, I think that with this new version, GWT Ext is on the road for success.

来週、でれくた〜 14 Feb 2008

If you're an expirienced GWT developers you may be confronted with difficulties conserned with writting a lot of complicated Java code to design your pages. HTMLTemplateWidget allows to use HTML files for designing.

Addy Kapur :

GWTiger is an application framework that will enable developers to write enterprise applications easily.
The framework essentially contains a set of widgets and java classes that can be included in any GWT project.

The following are the features:-

Widgets and Panels
GWT is a great tool with a lot of flexibility. When you are building a data entry screen or a form, you will have to write a lot of code to have widgets inside a horizontal panel which itself goes into a vertical panel which is embedded in some other panel. GWTiger will reduce that complexity by giving you a class that has built in label, field (text, password, list etc.) and a place for error message. All combined together in one easy package.
All you have to do is:-
TextFieldWidget txtUserId = new TextFieldWidget("User Id");

Field Validation
Very easily add field validation to your application. Making a field required is as simple as calling txtUserId.setRequired(true);

Mask Controls
GWTiger has widgets to provide Mask controls. E.g if you would like someone to enter their phone number in the format (122) 122-1222 all you have to do is to setup a mask control as
MaskTextFieldWidget txtPhone = new MaskTextFieldWidget("Phone","(###) ###-####");

Lazy loading
Each screen may take 2-3 seconds to load. If you build a large application, it may take several seconds/a minute for the application to load. With GWTiger you can use pre built functions to load your screens only when/if you need them.

Login screen
The demo application comes with a template and entire logic to build a login screen including the server side code.

Please view the online demo at http://gwtiger.org/sample/com.mycompany.MyApplication/MyApplication.html
More Info at http://gwtiger.org

This is a simple Date Picker Widget that uses a text box and a popup calendar. You can traverse through the calendar and select a date which gets populated in the text box.
