I need to integrate my GWT 2.8 application with Google Maps. How do you suggest I do this?

Unfortunately, the Google Maps v3 gwt wrapper and branflake2267's GWT-Maps-V3-Api are incompatible with GWT 2.8, also they are not maintained anymore.

Do I really need to connect to the Google Maps Javascript API through JSInterop? The beauty of GWT is in coding directly in Java!

Regards,

Jens

Seems so if there are no other working solutions. But you only need to expose the JS APIs you actually need through JsInterop, and not everything.

That is what you get with JsInterop. GWT does nothing else internally to allow you to call browser APIs through Java.

What is the issue with branflake2267 GWT-Maps-V3-Api regarding 2.8? Because we are using it with 2.8.2 without problems (but only for some basic map features)...
For sure in general an automatic jsinterop wrapper (using the google maps exports or the typescript mappings) would be very nice :-)

Sure, you could try running https://github.com/google/jsinterop-generator on https://github.com/google/closure-compiler/tree/master/contrib/externs/maps …

I just tried that way but the generator ends with a NPE...
