Hi,
I'm just starting out on a similar project and am feeling exactly the
same way.
Should I use gwt platform or Activity/Places?
(I think I've decided on gwt platform because there are good examples
integrating Gin/Maven).
Should I use UIBinder or GWT Designer?
(I think I'll use GWT Designer for the moment because it looks to be
simpler.)
Should I use GWT-RPC or RequestFactory or something else (RestyGWT
perhaps?)?
not sure at all... I'd like to use RequestFactory but haven't found
any complete non-GAE non-Spring examples yet.
I don't think there would be any problem with you using Gin in
conjunction with Spring. It looks to be purely client side and a lot
more light weight than Spring to boot.
Regards
Caoilte
