Re: Is there a Chrome extension/api which allows for 'read/write *.txt/*.js file' ?

This question is so confusing I can only respond with an equally confusing answer: Have you tried V http://www.vim.org/im? Ok, a more serious answer would be: Can you tell us what you're trying to accomplish? Why would you try to edit a txt or js file in a browser? :-) Ryan On Sunday,

I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make this so consumable. I found it very interesting to read. If getting my (spam-me-as-much-as-you-want) email was the cost, I'd pay that again happily. Whoever put this together did a very, very good job. If this had been a big table of

Is there a roadmap for GWT? I'd really like to create switch statements for Strings. It would make our Place locator, which I suspect a lot of projects have who hadn't seen that awesome GWT Architecture video at the start of their project, so much cleaner. Ryan On Thursday, November 1, 2012

Niraj, you didn't mention the -localWorkers flag. On a quad-core machine that reduced our compile time to about 1/3 of what it was (our 300s compile time became 100s). Ryan On Tuesday, September 4, 2012 1:10:19 AM UTC-5, Niraj Salot wrote: Hi Members, We are using GWT Version 2.4 in our

There's no way (that I know of) to change an image's color in GWT. That kind of thing is child's play in Adobe Photoshop / Gimp. If you want a really nice site design, you're almost certainly going to need to create these images yourself. Also, CSS3 supports doing most of that kind of stuff

For the next poor soul - this started happening to me as soon as I moved from Java 6 (where my GWTTestCases worked fine) to Java 7. I know, I know, don't use GWTTestCases. We learned that the hard way. We have a couple of legacy ones that we never converted into Selenium tests. Well, I

Google is an incubator. They throw a lot of darts at the wall to see what sticks (pun intended). When you have 10 irons in the fire, one or 2 of them are bound to glow hot. There's no reason to believe that Dart will win over GWT in the next 2-3 years if you're building something of modest

We've been using Selenium for 6 months now, and quite happily. Occasionally the browser will do something stupid like ask to install an update and ruin the test, but that happens pretty rarely. It works pretty well across IE, Chrome Firefox. Through the grapevine, I heard that Selenium is

FunkForce, do the math. If GWT 2.4 came out before the browser was even in beta, how could they have tested it? Now with that said, browsers are generally tested against a multitude of different sites. At least a few of them are using GWT. So it's highly improbable that your site won't work

I don't use JQuery, and I can't see a reason why you would. JQuery is Javascript, which brings you back into the world of not having your code compiled until you (or worse your user) executes it. If you really want to use JQuery for something, you can always us the @external flag. Then it
