Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Use SmartGWT for WYSIWYG widgets and SmartClient for JS needs

Hi Guys, Chiming in from Isomorphic - we'd love to see xWiki pick up SmartGWT. If I weren't already working on SmartClient a project like xWiki is probably what I'd be involved with :) So let me address your concerns: 1) Piecewise loading of widgets: yes you can load the framework piecewise. At coarse granularity we have major modules like "Grids", "Forms", "DataBinding". At finer granularity you can pick and choose individual files and make a custom build. 2) GWT widget dependency: SmartClient (the JavaScript engine inside SmartGWT) runs completely standalone, so I think the answer is "not at all". We have interoperability with other GWT widgets however. If I didn't address your concern please let me know. 3) New GWT versions: I don't forsee a problem, but have you had issues of this kind before? 4) Browser-specific code: Neither approach really. We have a foundation layer and widgets above this foundation do not need browser-specific code. 5) Customization: Probably our longest suit, both in terms of the skinning system (even if you don't like the themes, you'll notice that there's a huge breadth of look and feel, it's not just color changes) and also in terms of the model for custom components: http://www.smartclient.com/#_Extending_Component.Reuse 6) Active developers: extremely active, just check our forums. Hey we're even here on *your* forums ;) Cheers Charles Marius Dumitru Florea wrote: -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/-VOTE--Use-SmartGWT-for-WYSIWYG-widgets-and-SmartClien… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
