Re: combine GWT application from several modules coming from JARs or OSGI bundles
Vitaly, sorry - I don't really know how GWT works... Is your proposal addressed to GWT developers or users like me? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.

Re: combine GWT application from several modules coming from JARs or OSGI bundles
The main application is compiled together with the plugins. No plugins are installed or updated AFTER the application is compiled. This should make the life easier. When user clicks a certain link in the main UI, the "core" UI needs to show the editor (some panel) defined in the plugin. the "core" application does not have dependencies on the plugins code. plugins are listed in some XML file and the "core" can only invoke getPanel() or something similar on the plugin Class. This is how it currently works for my Eclipse RCP application. I need to port the same to GWT, if that's possible -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.

combine GWT application from several modules coming from JARs or OSGI bundles
I need a web UI with pages like "Info", "Support", etc. That's easy. In addition, I have some "plugins" with their own "editors", which need to be shown in the same web UI. It's something similar to "Extensions" page shown in Google Chrome: every extension has an "Options" link, which can contain any editor the extension wants. So, my main application does not know upfront how many "plugins" and editors it has. All it knows is how to call the plugin's "showEditor()" method. (this is how it's currently implemented in my Eclipse-based desktop app, which I'm trying to port to web) I'm wondering if GWT is applicable for this kind of applications. So far looks that GWT applications are "monolithic" and all pages / panels need to be referenced in the common "gwt.xml" file, which means I can't configure the distributive to include only "plugin1 and plugin2" or only "plugin 2 and plugin 3" - I have to always include everything since it's referenced in the common xml file. Any ideas how to use "modularity" with GWT so that UI panels can come from some "modules/plugins"? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.

describe pages in text format, render into GWT
I have several Eclipse SWT-based editors. I want to switch from Eclipse SWT/RCP to web UI. GWT is one of the options I'm looking at. I don't want to rewrite all editors every time I change the framework. Would be nice if I could define editors in some text file and then render it into GWT code. This way people who create/maintain editors don't have to know GWT or Eclipse SWT or any other framework my platform uses at the moment, all they need to do is maintain their simple plain text files, while the platform will render them into appropriate format. so, is there some "renderer", which would take editors/pages saved in text files and create GWT code for them (assuming people will provide some servers-side java code to respond to editors' requests) ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
