Hi Marcel, I've done a fair amount of work with Vaadin and OSGi and am working on a project for a customer with such. It's not 100% perfect, but as long as you're not adding a lot of custom components you can build UIs quite rapidly and in a modular way.
I've created an OSGi compatibility layer that lets you create Vaadin applications as DS components. The official download is here: http://vaadin.com/directory#addon/vaadin-osgi ... but my github repository is more up to date: http://github.com/brindy/VaadinOSGi Feel free to use it if you want, it's Apache licensed. :) Cheers, Chris On 13 October 2010 09:34, Marcel Offermans <[email protected]>wrote: > Hey all, > > Some time ago, we started work on a web based UI for ACE based on GWT. > Feature wise, GWT is great, providing a nice web UI that supports things > like drag and drop.
