In my framework evaluations I also liked GWT, but missing some GUI elements I later found in GXT. But two reasons I did not use it finally: 1. The fact that it compiles everything to JavaScript behind the scenes, it awful slow on compilation even for a very small test application - that was very annoying to me, because I had to wait long each time I run the program after small changes in the code. 2. With GXT it was even slower and had problems with corrupted GUI - tried to find the reasons, changed a few things, then it worked until an update to the next version of GWT and/or GXT or IDE, don't remember exactly. It was mentioned in the episode that "Swing just works" - and this is very important for me. A reason why I think twice before designing an application as a web application. -- Martin Wildam http://www.google.com/profiles/mwildam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
