Looking forward to GWT 2.0.1

I just spent some time on the GWT issue list, nice to see work being completed on the 2.0.1 release. Unfortunately, it looks like week numbers are not going to make it into 2.0.1. Since many issues are already marked “FixedNotReleased” it might be a good option to checkout and build GWT from the source. Unfortunately the standard [...]

Using Speed Tracer on a Mac

Speed Tracer on a Mac

I finally got Speed Tracer running on Mac OSX. Just in case you missed the news: GWT 2.0 was released yesterday and brought a nice friend called Speed Tracer.

The tool itself is written in GWT (funny, don’t?) and works as an Chrome extension. Since Chrome for Mac is beta [...]

GWT is not the future but the present of web development

I just read an interesting blog articles about “is GWT the future of web development or not“. I find the titles quite funny, because I really don’t believe that it was no ones intention to forecast the future, so the real question is – is GWT a good approach for present web development?

There is actually [...]

News from the GWT development front

There have been some quiet updates in the last days on the GWT development front.

First and most important is that the GWT development team has released a milestone towards GWT 2.0. The milestone release can’t be found on the main page, and it was not mentioned in the official GWT blog.

This milestone provides early access [...]

Use Spring with GWT dispatch

From the GWT dispatch site:

Inspired by Ray Ryan’s Best Practices For Architecting Your GWT App session at Google I/O 2009, “gwt dispatch” is an implementation of the ‘command pattern’ discussed at the beginning of the video.

The project uses Gin in the frontend and Guice in the backend. Guice defines a very nice dependency injection framework, [...]

Non invasive GWT and Spring integration (reloaded)

New project layout

Here is my overdue update to my Non invasive GWT and Spring integration blog post from early 2008. Since then we have had the GWT 1.6 and GWT 1.7 releases: One of the biggest changes to GWT 1.6 is a new project structure. The old output format has been replaced by the standard [...]

GWT, eclipse, i18n, and UTF-8 properties

GWT does a great job reading UTF-8 encoded property files:

Both Constants and Messages use traditional Java properties files, with one notable difference: properties files used with GWT should be encoded as UTF-8 and may contain Unicode characters directly, avoiding the need for native2ascii.

This is nice, but there is a tiny little problem when using eclipse: [...]

GWT 1.5 nearing relase

Just had a look at the SVN logs, and found this here:

Revision: 2940
Creating 1.5 release branch.

So no more betas? Would be great to have a release in near future. People are expecting GWT 1.5 to be announced at the Google IO conference this week. Lets hope so!

GPL, GWT, GXT, FSF, confusion

I really believe that switching to GPL did more harm then good. A forum thread of more than 50 pages is no good sign…

It is quite hard to tell how GPL works for web applications. Does sending html/css/javascript code to a browser mean I am conveying the application to the user?

What is the application in [...]

Session: GWT – JSF done right?

I just finished my GWT session at the Jax India 2008 conference. I had to switch notebook because I have forgetten my micro-DVI to VGA adapter at home (Germany). How bad, I was really looking forward to test drive my Macbook Air here.

I had about 50 listeners in a very nice auditorium. We had about [...]

Make the Web a better place

Mit dem Google Web Toolkit (GWT) soll ein Java- Entwickler schnell in die Lage versetzt werden, JavaScript/Ajax-Anwendungen zu schreiben. Die Nachfrage ist groß, und immer mehr Projekte sollen mit JavaScript im Browser dem Trend des Web 2.0 folgen: von intelligenter Validierung über Drag-and-Drop bis hin zu Mashups mit Google Maps. Der Browser hat sich zur [...]

Eclipse Magazin Titelthema: Eclipse & Ajax

In der Ausgabe Vol. 14 2.08 wurde als Titelthema “Rich Internet Applications” gesetzt. Ich habe den Artikel zu GWT beigesteuert: “Make the Web a Better Place” – gestern habe ich meinen Belegexemplar bekommen. Als Brasilianer habe ich mich besonders über das Bild auf der ersten Seite gefreut!
