Summary
The real world experience building Lombardi Blueprint is used as a case study to introduce the use of GWT, why it was successful and why it has become the platform of choice for other Lombardi products. One goal of the presentation is to argue for the use of GWT as the foundation for RIA development.

    Widget Libraries and Wysiwyg

    May 27, 2009 5:41 PM by Alex Zakharov

    I'm curious about people's thoughts/experiences with 3-rd party widget libraries and/or Wysiwyg tools (i.e. GWT Designer from Instantiations). After two days of playing with it GWT Designer seems quite nice - it supports GWT 1.5 (1.6 support is in progress) and GWT-EXT. GWT-EXT seems to add some nice widgets to core GWT, albeit GWT-EXT widgets are not native. In contrast EXT-GWT does have native widgets but GWT Designer doesn't support it. Yet.

    Any opinions would be much appreciated.
