[PJUG Javamail] GWT with Facebook

[Douglas Bullard]

We used the Sencha widget library with GWT (GXT, it’s free - http://www.sencha.com/products/gxt/examples/ ), they’ve got some nice stuff.  I’d stay away from creating Sencha applications and just use their widgets in a standards GWT framework.

IDEA and Eclipse can run the GWT plugin directly in FF or Chrome, makes for very fast app development.  We used Jetty to run the “real” app after compiling to JavaScript.

We did the builds in Ant, fairly simple to use the GWT compiler.

Biggest problems we had were with translations, some gotchas there if you don’t know how the interfaces and defaults work, but if you’re only doing one language, not an issue.

I thought first I'd reach out to PJUGers though and see if anyone has already fought this battle and had any simple advice getting started. Any 3rd party libs, IntelliJ plugins, lessons learned, gotchas with FB, etc?
