Crossposted from GPE group (Tooling support to handle GWT MVP boilerplate)

[abby]

Posting this on this group to reach the GWT community as well.

I was wondering if there are any plans to add better tooling support
to generate the boilerplate interfaces/classes to build a use case
using MVP approach.
One pain point i have been hearing a lot in my discussion with
developers is the amount of boilerplate code needed to get something
going. I believe support from GPE to have a right click menu item
saying add use case, which generates a corresponding presenter
interface, implementation, a uibinder.xml file with corresponding java
class and interface will help ease some of the pain. Thoughts?

Re: GWT Designer - Support to reference CSS from ui.xml as well as CSSResource

[abby]

Thanks Eric, I think what we have now allows us to manually select a
style by clicking in the textbox, which brings a dropdown where you
can select a style.

1) It probably will be nice that when you click a widget the dropdown
automatically filters the current styles applied, along with an entry
for Add... which allows you to select other styles or add new ones.

2) The CSS button is the most prominent one and it was not even
obvious too me that clicking the textbox actually brings a dropdown of
style. Clicking CSS should still allow you to select all styles, or it
probably should be done away with.

I can open an issue to let others brainstorm this through?

GWT Designer - Support to reference CSS from ui.xml as well as CSSResource

[abby]

It seems like GWT designer added an awesome CSS editor, but it looks
like it only references the CSS which are referenced from the HTML
file. It will be nice to actually be able to look at all the styles
currently associated with a widget be it inline inside UIBInder xml or
from a CSSResource.

Is this something which already exists or planned?

UIBinder Bug Or Feature - Attribute setters on parent called after children are added

[abby]

HTML header
able


It looks like the addWidget call happens before setUnit, setWidth or
setHeight is called. I am curious why is it like this? In cases i
might want the attributes to be set before add happens and setters can
be used instead of constructor args as an alternative. Anyone knows
what is the justification for calling attribute setters after children
are added?

Custom ValueBoxEditorDecorator

[abby]

Any pointers on creating a custom valuebox editor decorator? What is
the easiest approach? It seems simply replacing the decorator won't
work as it is tied at the hip all the way to Valuebox. Any suggestions
are appreciated?

Re: GWT 2.0, Maven, Google eclipse and TOMCAT, why didn't google build maven support?

[abby]

The problem is when you try to bring maven, tomcat and google plugin
together. I have hacked my way around with jetty and was able to get
it working at some level.

The problem is there is zero documentation on getting things working.

GWT 2.0, Maven, Google eclipse and TOMCAT, why didn't google build maven support?

[abby]

Has anyone gotten these to work? I am surprised at the lack of support
gwt has for maven. Looking at the mojo users group, it seems that gwt-
maven developers are equally frustrated

http://groups.google.com/group/codehaus-mojo-gwt-maven-plugin-users/browse_thread/thread/8ced89b3cb27cf3f

Can someone clarify if gwt-maven 1.3.1 fix by google magically makes
maven play nicely? If so any documentation/howto's would be godsend.

Thanks,

IE bookmark and GWT cache.html?

[abby]

I wonder if anyone has an idea about what's going on.


I have bookmarked my gwt app URL and when i redeployed a new version
on server, IE got a 302.

I looked at fiddler out put and see that it's using cached files, so i
promptly delete the temp files, cache and everything else from the
browsing history. Now i see that the new nocache.js file is pulled
from the server but the CACHE.HTML file being requested is still old.
I look for this cache file entry in nocache.js and there is no
reference.

How is IE managing to request for this old CACHE.HTML file when
nocache.js is new and has no reference to this?

ImageBundle createImage does not trigger events as opposed to Image

[abby]

Hi,
  I just discovered an interesting issue. In one of my views i have a
bunch of widgets like textbox etc and a Proceed button (which is
basically an image). If i create Proceed using new Image(url) all
events are fired for text boxes etc, but if use
ImageBundle.createImage, and someone modified the textbox content and
directly uses the mouse to click on Proceed, change and blur events
for the textbox are not fired.

Is this a bug or an expected behaviour?

Thanks,

Re: @Resource path is OS-gnostic ( \ or / depending on the Win/Linux). What is a workaround?

[abby]

Did anyone open a RFE for this?

Also, is the best workaround now having the images in same package as
the Bundle interface?
