Re: Are the GWT APIs dead?

This is opensource.

How about getting your hands dirty ? :)

I'm looking at the project and there's nearly zero activity.  The last chatter was about Maps v3, and that was 9 months ago.

Should I be worried?

Are folks out there just wrapping js libs with JSNI and going from there?  It seems very plausible.  

You don't really need a GWT API's library when you can easily wrap objects. 

I'm really just wondering what others out there are doing?  Are you wrapping js libs such as google maps?

For maps, I believe many people use https://github.com/branflake2267/GWT-Maps-V3-Api

Hi, I'm working on a Google's Java API for GWT that works 100% on the client side :

http://code.google.com/p/gwtgapi/

example gallery with sources: http://cancerbero.freevar.com/gwtgapi/

(you must authorize the APIs in the Google APIs console, an "authorize" button appears at the bottom)

It is based on the JavaScript project http://code.google.com/p/google-api-javascript-client which is 100% GWT-wrapped (using overlay types). Also supported some Java utilities for easy authentication and module loading.

Now the big task : I'm writing more Java friendly API (extending JavaScriptObject), some "google modules" are ready but there is a lot of work.... (I'm only working on those who interest me more)

I didn't announce this project here before because I wanted a better product before. But perhaps announce it here can be good, mainly for completing the mechanical big work that needs to be done, this is, writing the Java GWT overlay types for google APIs requests and return types from reading the google apis reference documents.

Any feedback and help is most appreciated.
