Thai Bui commented on OOZIE-2683:
---------------------------------
This long needed UI for Oozie is a good idea but I would strongly suggest
against a Java to Javascript compilation for Oozie UI. It's more
straightforward and easier for the *front-end* community to support the UI if
we could pick a modern framework like Angular or React.js and build it from
scratch.
Something like GWT is nice for building a software with unified programming
language, but I think Oozie needs an intuitive, responsive and nice looking UI
first. For that matter, I don't see why GWT is more superior to other front-end
focused frameworks.

> We're currently relying on a version of ExtJS that's so old, it's not linked
> on their official website, and is often temporarily deleted. Looks like it's
> now been deleted for good (OOZIE-2622). It also has a GPL license, so we
> can't include it with Oozie, and users are forced to go and download it
> themselves. And finally, it's a really outdated UI that's not very good.
> We should invest in a new Web UI that's more modern and compatibly licensed.
