Re: GWT vs ExtJs

2009-11-20 Thread DaBlick
You should also have a good look at Ext-GWT which is offered by the same company. Unlike Ext-JS (which is wrapped JS), Ext-GWT is Java. It's basically a component library layered on top of GWT, but with a (IMHO) nicer and larger set of widgets. To me, the biggest selling point of Ext-GWT (also

I would suggest that you consider using the Ext-GWT component library instead of the native GWT components. Ext-GWT (also known as GXT) provide a far more Swing-like approach (MVC, etc.) to GUI's than GWT components. I definitely believe it's a shorter leap from Swing to Ext-GWT than to GWT.

My understanding is that GWT-Ext development is halted. Your mileage may be different, but if you are setting up your technology stack, why pick something with no apparent future? It's popular now but when something is not moving at all, other things are bound to catch up and surpass it. We're

We've been using Ext-GWT for about 4 months now. As has been said, bugs are fixed quite rapidly.We like the MVC architecture. The only knock , and you'll hear this from others, is that there is very little documentation at the moment and the way you learn this library is you either pay them

GWT gets translated to Javascript. Now, you might argue So? I heard Swing is pure Java. Why can't SWING by translated by the compiler to JS? The answer is because while Swing is pure Java, it is layered on top of AWT which is anything BUT pure Java. Thinking SWT? Don't go there. Like

Well, there's Ext-GWT (also referred to as GXT). The plus is that it is written entirely in Java. GWT-EXT are JSNI wrappers for Ext-JS. The negative is that there is near-zero documentation (and mostly insufficient code-comments) for it. Basically you learn it by looking at source code for
