@Denis. The "ActionScript part" of gwt4air is not opensource. Also i dont know if i ll open that yet. Need to think about it.
@Leandro The idea of gwt4air started after we had a requirement to implement a web and a desktop client for the same application. We wanted to be able to do that using only one code basis. GWT provided us the right platform to do so. Because GWT generates HTML/JS and CSS we could deploy the same code to the browser and to AIR. Then then client wanted to also hav a Flex widget on the web client (to enable client side PDF generation). Because i wanted to that using GWT I started looking for a solution. And the results of those researchs is what you see in gwt4air If you are more interested you can see the story of the genesis here: http://code.google.com/p/gwt4air/wiki/Beginn Best, Alain 2011/6/8 leandro borbosa <[email protected]> > This is a free time project ? ? > Really impressive stuff. > > "Hopefully i did a good job at that." > I ve played around with the library i must say you did more then a good > job at that. > I still cant believe i m writing a Flex application. > > I just wonder what makes you start this project.
