GWTExt is not dead, they're still making maintenance releases, but the lead developer (Sanjiv Jivan) has moved on to SmartGWT. ExtGWT --which contains the JS underlying GWTExt - upto 2.0.2-- did a dirty move a year or so ago when they changed their licensing model; as a result there was a falling out between the two projects.
IMO, SmartGWT is the widget library of choice. It's based on a mature Java enterprise client/server technology (SmartClient); seven years of RIA experience; great support, and the project is lead by Sanjiv Jivan. Here's a good discussion of its merits (article goes beyond Groovy): http://www.cacoethes.co.uk/blog/groovyandgrails/introducing-smartgwt-to-grails Regards, Dave On Aug 30, 4:54 pm, Thomas Broyer <t.bro...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 30 août, 11:59, muhannad nasser <muhannadna...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > i wanna choose one of these libraries to start my project... i am searching > > for a good comparison between those two or any other library that may do the > > job....... > > GWT-Ext was a *wrapper* around the pure-JS Ext-JS lib, just like > SmartGWT is a wrapper around SmartClient (AFAICT); this means that > your page will load the whole set of widgets, classes, methods, etc. > even those that won't ever be used. > > Ext-GWT (or GXT) on the other hand is a *port* of Ext-JS over to GWT, > which means that only the code you actually use will end in the > javascript loaded by the browser. > > That being said, I haven't ever used any of those libs, so I can't > really tell which one to choose... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
