That information is interesting. I had read about JSNI, but not
about _javascript_ overlays. The tool from Vaadin also looks like
useful. Thank you.
I guess I'll have to read the entire tutorials and documentation
from the GWT website to know if I'm going to feel comfortable in
this new scenario. I'm so used to do all these things with
_javascript_, that I'm a little afraid :S .

There are multiple ways to do this.
See these pages:
GWT 2.8, if I remember correctly, will also introduce a new
Elemental generator, so the Elemental jar will always be up to
date.
Vaadin also has an api generator for GWT.

Hello:
I code in both _javascript_ and Java. I make my back-ends
with Java whereas I use _javascript_ for the front-ends.
Nothing new. However, for the last years I aimed my career
so much to Java, that I missed out many important
_javascript_ libraries and projects. Instead, I always used
my old custom _javascript_ libraries. Now I want to change
that, but I got a little tired of the dynamic typing,
among other ugly things of _javascript_. That's why I'm
considering to move either to TypeScript or to GWT.
In the case of GWT, I know that I'm "arriving" very late.
There are some people that even told me to stay away from
it. However, I also want to hear directly from people who
still use GWT.
I don't want too much abstraction of the DOM. Indeed, I
want to have absolute control over it if necessary. Could
be GWT used that way, as a "thin" layer over _javascript_? I
read about Elemental, but it seems to be very tied to
WebKit and experimental. I also have read about GwtQuery.
Would it be what I need to manipulate the DOM, instead of
Elemental? Is it still maintained? Does it still receive
new features?
With this I don't mean that I'm not interested in using
the GWT widgets. It's the opposite really. But I want to
be sure that, if I need it, I still can do things at a
lower level.
Thank you.
