Wow, that looks quite impressive! That is almost too desktop-like for my needs, I didn't mean an actual desktop :P
Well, I think I will have to spent more time on that and take a closer look at each of those libraries. When I started searching I thought I will just add a new dependency to my pom.xml and I am ready to go but nah .. It seems that I will install each of those libs and try out a few things.. I am not sure if you can help me with that but do you have a clue why I am getting this error: [1] I tried to make Smart GWT work earlier that day but I couldn't find out what the problem might be here. However, thank you for your help and advice! I'll read through all of it again tomorrow but it's 4 am her in Austria and I think I should go to bed anytime soon :D [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34831911/trying-to-use-smartgwt-but-getting-errors-cannot-read-property-setautodraw-o On Sunday, 17 January 2016 03:20:14 UTC+1, Alain wrote: > > I feel you :) > Actually we are building a reusable webdesktop component.
