Hi Magno, Bom Dia! There are a few differences with this approach:
1. You are developing with GWT4TiDesktop using Java and GWT with Titanium Desktop under the hood. The application you are creating initially is no different than if you had been writing a regular RIA web application. You have access to rich libraries such as Sencha Ext-GWT, or you can use Flex with the GWT4Flex product that we provide in this case. You can use other JS libraries if you wanted to or widgets and expose them via JSNI for example as well. This already gives you a good range of possibilities vs using for example swing only. 2. Even though the application is developed and feels like it would be intended for the web, you have access to the file system and many other things just like you would have had if it would have been a regular java desktop application. 3. The same application can now be used or deployed to a servlet container. Customers can now have an offline and online version of the app that looks and feels the same. The only difference is that in this case in web mode you would not have for instance access to the OS and file system; unless of course you use Flex with it and then you would be good there as well. These are just some of the things that come to mind.
