Hi all,
we want to upgrade XWiki Web gwt to gwt 1.4 for the 1.3 version so, since
gwttk does not have a version for gwt 1.4 and we depend on it for creating
modal dialogs, we need to replace tk with something else. A good option is
gwt-ext, which also can replace gwt-widgets and provides some more nice ui
objects and client functionality (like date parsing -- which we get from
gwt-widgets for the moment).
The trouble with gwt-ext is that it requires ext javascript library to
run, which means that any gwt application needs to import, besides the
gwt.js file, some ext javascript files. Since the modal dialogs are
defined in the web-gwt module (so our gwt-ext dependency is there) and we
cannot import the ext javascript files at that level, the only solution is
to rely on the application using web-gwt to include right all required
files. It doesn't seem to me as good practice but I cannot figure out how
big of an issue it is (since that application already has some rules to
obey, js files to include, etc to have gwt working).
WDYT?
