GWT + Palm WebOS

[cal]

Any suggestions on achieving this.
I would love to be able to develop WebOS apps in Java using GWT and I
think tons of other people would too.

I suppose some particular points of interest would be:
-How to integrate with the WebOS eclipse plugin? I was thinking you
would need a WebOS project and a GWT project.
-How do you get Java wrappers for Palm's Mojo framework.
-What kind of GWT compiler settings you would want to work best with
WebOS.

Actually, GWT apps seem to work quite well in the browser, just like
any web application... You just need to be careful about the screen
size.

So if you don't need webOS native libraries, there are no specific
settings for GWT, and your project can be a standard GWT project.

Wrapping Mojo in GWT would require some work, but I'm definitely
interested to see if someone is up to it.

In an interview about his new job and what he's working on Dion Almaer
(Palm Developer Relations) did talk about the developer program for
webOS. He also mentioned the possibility to use GWT. So Palm seems to
think about this already...

Hi Olivier

The link points to the show notes. You have to donwload the mp3 file.
It's kind a hidden behind the 'POD' icon on the top left. Here is the
direct link:

Hope that helps!

Ah it's a podcast! I was looking for a transcript...

Thanks, I'll listen later.

I think PhoneGap (www.phonegap.com) had support for WebOS, although I
can't find it on their web page right now. But there are several
similar libraries how to bridge from JavaScript to get access to the
phone native functions, it shouldn't be too difficult to get this. But
in long run, it is better to use native SDK.
