There is no information on the topic of migrating a desktop application to GWT because there is absolutely no mapping or even similarity between AWT/SWT and GWT, except the "WT" bit, and in the "WT" bit the only word that is the same is "toolkit" :)
You would have to completely re-write the whole application pretty much from scratch. Ofcourse you would be able to re-use any business logic you may have in server classes, but any presentation and user interface components will have to be re-written, On Friday, July 20, 2012 9:17:42 PM UTC+10, Silas Pereira wrote: > > Hi guys, > > I am new with Google Web Toolkit, and I have a migration project to start > with.
