Re: [xwiki-devs] GWT 1.4 upgrade

Hi devs, We have planned the GWT 1.4 upgrade for the next XWatch milestone at the end of march. For this, we need to make a decision regarding the web-gwt dependencies (for the moment, the xwiki gwt dialogs rely on the gwt-tk library that does not yet have a release for gwt 1.4) so we must choose from: - using another library to provide this functionality, particularly the MyGwt library pros: nice looks and good API + the possibility of using the library components in including projects. cons: code changes required by the clean switch (updating all involved classes to use library API instead of GWT API), the lack of a maven repository with all available MyGwt versions (only 0.5.0 rc). As well, while testing, I experienced a couple of rendering issues (caused, seemingly by the use of the strict or xhtml DTD). - using the native gwt modal dialogs introduced in 1.4: pros: not styled (we totally control the styling process and can build an uniform look); widgets consistency, at least at this level. A big advantage is that the web-gwt module will not depend on any other library anymore. cons: not styled, the usual GWT API (which can be poor in some situations); GWT also has some problems caused by the standard mode interpretation in browsers (caused by the doctype declaration) but in this situation the code seems to be stable. What do you think? _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
