Re: GWT sometimes reinventing the wheels

2011-01-11 Thread Olivier Gérardin
GWT had to do I18N the way it's done precisely because of the constraints imposed by Javascript compilation and the choices made for optimization, in particular the notion of permutation which requires that every possible combination of browser and target language is compiled separately. Instead

Re: Bad time with TimeZones/Dates

2010-03-03 Thread Olivier Gérardin
I can assure you that your solution will not work with all combinations of browser/client settings/server settings... What you should keep in mind is: never use a Date objet to represent a calendar date with no time part! Date is actually a timestamp and wasn't meant to represent a calendar date;

Re: Bad time with TimeZones/Dates

2010-03-01 Thread Olivier Gérardin
Actually what probably happens is that the date you send has the time part set to midnight, and somehow the date you get is translated with a negative offset to something like 23:00 the previous day, so that when you extract the date-only part is appears to be the previous day. The solution is

Hi all, I wish the GWT team would focus on all the things that force us to use such awful third-party libraries as Ext-GWT: -more appealing built-in themes -richer components, like data grids with remote pagination -data binding Ext-GWT is full of annoyances but it has good looking widgets,

Re: GWT and .Net

2009-12-11 Thread Olivier Gérardin
Do you still have a reference to the posts that linked .Net with GWT? I have serious doubts that this was ever considered. Besides, if all you want to do is be able to code in C#, I think Java is close enough that it won't be a huge gap... In addition to porting the GWT compiler, fully supporting

Re: Is it possible to compile java swing application in GWT?

2009-12-09 Thread Olivier Gérardin
I also doubt it will ever exist, one of the reason being that Swing uses multi-threading and you now that JavaScript has strong limitations on this. AjaxSwing looks like a much more realistic way to achieve the same result through a completely different approach. it doesn't do any code migration,

GWT-compiles are slow, that's a fact. But they are normally used only for deployment or when you exceptionally need to test in a real browser. Normally when you make changes to your code you just need to hit reload in the hosted modewindow, and that takes only seconds. On Nov 18, 12:52 pm,

Actually, GWT apps seem to work quite well in the browser, just like any web application... You just need to be careful about the screen size. So if you don't need webOS native libraries, there are no specific settings for GWT, and your project can be a standard GWT project. Wrapping Mojo in

Re: Suggestions for non-java programmer

2009-10-07 Thread Olivier Gérardin
The number of Java classes you actually in everyday programming is very small, even more so if you use GWT because you are limited by GWT's JRE emulation library, which only emulates a subset of the full JRE class library. You might want to check the complete list of emulated classes there:
