Google's next Open Source project
A prediction: In a few months time Google will release a project called 'GDT'. GDT is somewhat similar to GWT except that rather than compile Java to HTML+JavaScript, it will compile to Swing. So rather than being Google Web Toolkit, it will be Google Desktop Toolkit. You'll then be able to take the same source, and get out of it either a desktop app, or a web app.
While we're on the subject, the same idea in reverse: I wonder if anyone at Google is working on having JavaFX compiled using the GWT compiler?
Re: Google's next Open Source project
Joe, we released IBDOM a few weeks back, which should nicely complement DWR and some other frameworks, we could use your feedback/thoughts/suggestions. If you have some time ... please ping me :)
The 0.2 release is coming out soon, which will be the version we're using in production in one of our customer-facing DWR-driven applications.
Re: Google's next Open Source project
This is totally improbable, given how everything your write with GWT relies strongly on the DOM, namely CSS. The only reasonable way to get a desktop app from GWT source is to embed a browser instance within it that will render the UI. Why would you want a Swing app from GWT source anyways? This is way too little demand, if any, for such a feature.
What would be a lot cooler is having GWT compile to Flash.
Re: Google's next Open Source project
I will wait for that application and i think i will be easy to use and user friendly with lots of new features, i was wandering on internet for some good deals on phpbb hosting services along with the vbulletin hosting services at affordable price but i got here and i see interesting information here, thanks for providing up to date information.
Re: Google's next Open Source project
The new Open source project that Google is planning is called Semantic Robot Vision Challenge (SRVC).The job of the robert is in understanding and automatic acquisition of knowledge from large unstructured databases.How this works is fully autonomous robots receive a text list of objects that they are to find. They use the web to automatically find image examples of those objects in order to learn visual models.
