GWT to Swing-conversion

[Lothar Kimmeringer]

Hi,

is there something out there that allows me to convert the client-part of a
GWT-application to Swing, still communicating to the server using the
GWT-RPC-mechanism.

I've found a project out there but it seems to be dead.

Best regards,

Lothar

Why do you need a swing app ? Any specific reason?

There are specific reasons namely OSI levels 8 and 9: politics and religion ;-)
Seriously: I need to implement an application that should run as desktop appli-
cation and as application in a browser (the desktop-application can't run as
browser-application for some reason). So I need to implement twice or find a
way to get one using the other. GWT to Swing is in my eyes easier than the
other way around.

There is a company offering a conversion from swing to an Ajax-application
without GWT but the license-costs are exceeding by budget.

Best regards,

Lothar Kimmeringer

This is partly why Adobe AIR and Titanium Desktop (among others) have been made. And it's the cheapest solution you could find.

Like Thomas said

Adobe AIR ( http://www.adobe.com/products/air.html ) and 

Titanium Desktop (http://www.appcelerator.com/products/titanium-desktop-application-development/) 

can help ypu turn your GWT app to a desktop app without rewriting. And it s all free :)

Hello Thomas,

Without going into detail, I'm a bit stuck with the need to convert it
to Swing. The target framework is fixed here.

Best regards,

I'm not sure how you'd automate something like that. We did it the
hard way -- define a generic API for manipulating windows and
controls, write two backends for it (Swing and GWT) to target at
runtime. Nothing automatic, though; just a lot of hard work.

For me would be more easy to use Web services than try to implement RPC on Java SE with Swing.

Or maybe take at look of this:

Good luck
