In my opionion it depends on the complexity of your project. If you have to write a webapp / site with a complex interface that it has to be feeded with a large amount of data, or you want to reserve the capability to scale, and you have a couple of weeks to study gwt, choose gwt. If you have not

Hi, My 2 cents: a) learning curve for GWT higher than JQuery b) You can't work efficiently with GWT if you don't master html, http, javascript anyway... c) GWT is great because you come back to compile mode: your code is correct much faster and you don't have to write lots of unit test to

i guess jquery would be best for drupal / wordpress to achieve web2.0 effects. I mean GWT can be used just as a cross compiler, i.e. if you want to build complex OOP driven masterpiece with no widgets and dont want to pseudo OOP on javascript. so its all about the problem to solve wud be good

Personally, I use both with a little distinction, I use GQuery instead of jQuery. GWT and jQuery are two different things to me and can be used in conjunction while making great web application. Cheers, On Fri, Nov 19, 2010 at 10:30 AM, Didier Durand durand.did...@gmail.comwrote: Hi, My 2

btw: how do you use jQuery's plugins with GQuery? I didnt found an API so had to integrate jQuery for its plugins, GQuery for better API on effects and wrapped the plugins via JSNI, but maybe GQuery is / going to support jQueries plugins? On 19 Nov., 16:41, Christian Goudreau

I don't really use any jQuery plugins, but you can find some GQuery plugin here: http://code.google.com/p/gwtquery-plugins/ but maybe GQuery is / going to support jQueries plugins? I don't know, but I'm not a big fan of wrapping javascript. It makes my code harder to test with pure JUnit test.

Well, have you programmed in java before? If not, learning GWT could be a nightmare... Are you planning to combine GWT/jQuery with a drupal/wordpress backend? If that's the case, I'd say definitely jQuery. GWT is best with single-page apps like GMail, where you switch between views without a page
