Hello,
We'd appreciate some feedback
I worked with the trunk versions of xwiki-gwt-dom and xwiki-gwt-user.
After checking them out, I slightly modified their poms (eg. removed the
parent declaration), then I could use them in my small example project
without problems.
I have much more difficulties with xwiki-web-wysiwyg, it seems to be
more tightly coupled with xwiki functionalities. It's sad because the
RichTextEditor and the plugin system would be very useful in external
projects as well.
If you would split it to two projects, with the RichTextEditor and the
plugin system in one of them, the resulting code base would be very well
usable in external project as well. And seeing what you have already
developed, it's a waste (in the good sense of meaning of course :) that
this great editor is used only in xwiki. For example I think that many
Java projects that use fckeditor (some of my projects as well) would
happily switch to a gwt-based editor (and a cleaner Java-based plugin
system). But I understand that it would need much work to support
additional external requirements...
Best regards:
Norbi

Hello,
I'm experimenting with the RichTextArea (RTA) in a separate application,
not in XWiki.
Hi Norbert,
That is great, we've been waiting for other applications to try and
integrate the editor, since so far only in theory can it be reused by
external applications, nobody tried it. We hope that this goes smoothly
and nothing serious prevents the integration, and we'll help each other
to fix any issues.
I checked out the xwiki-gwt-dom and
xwiki-gwt-user, and RTA seems to
work well. (Until now I've created only a small demo application, with
an RTA and some buttons to execute various commands.)
We'd appreciate some feedback for this, like how much time did you
spend
so far, do you think it was easy or not to go this far, is the
documentation good enough?
I'm not a developer of the WYSIWYG, so I won't be able to answer your
questions, but Marius will help you as soon as he can.
My questions are:
1. Pressing ENTER creates a BR element by default, is it possible to
create a P instead?
(The behaviour of the ENTER key inside a P can be set by executing
the insertbronreturn command, but the default document always
contains a BR, and if I set the initial content to<p></p>, I
cannot navigate the cursor inside the P...)
2. Is there a way to listen to selection events?
(I want to enable/disable some buttons based on the current
selection.)
3. Are there any extensions to the default RTA in the other parts of
XWiki?
(I mean for example commands and controls for editing TABLEs
visually, toolbars that are enabled/disabled based on the content
of the RTA, etc. - I haven't looked at all the source code yet,
it's huge :)
That's for a starter :)
Thanks for your help in advance!
Best regards:

I looked at your blog, and I saw this entry which I think we could
benefit from in our build, since compiling the GWT code is the most
resource consuming step in the build, except for running the integration
tests.
Marius, could you take a look at
http://jvminside.blogspot.com/2010/01/gwt-2-debugging-and-compiling-faq.html
I think that -XdisableCastChecking will improve runtime performance, and
-draftCompile could be used in the default build profile for faster compile.
