Looking for a GWT expert for a porting of an application from an old version of GWT

[Antonio Leonforte]

Hi everyone,

hope this will not violate any rule. We have developed a quite complex client using GWT2.5.1 and Java 8.0  We need support from a professional in order to port the application to the latest version of GWT and Java 17 or later. Is this the right place to find  GWT specialist?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I would say yes. Another great place looking for help is the GWT room:  https://matrix.to/#/#gwtproject_gwt:gitter.im

And, feel free to contact me.

Hi Antonio,

I replied to you off-list yesterday, but this is something that our company can help with. You can contact me at co...@vertispan.com to arrange a call to look into your project. We definitely also encourage community resources like the Gitter channel that Frank mentioned, this mailing list and stackoverflow.

Hi Colin,

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing on behalf of Shaik Fayaz, who is interested in your company's assistance with upgrading their GWT application.

Shaik Fayaz is in need of support to port their application from GWT 2.5.1 and Java 8.0 to the latest version of GWT and Java 17 or later. Your expertise in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Could you please provide more details on how your company can assist with this project? Shaik Fayaz is keen to arrange a call to discuss the requirements further. You can reach out to Shaik Fayaz at sfay...@gmail.com to coordinate a suitable time for the call.

Additionally, Shaik Fayaz is open to utilizing community resources like the Gitter channel and stackoverflow, as suggested by Frank. Any guidance on where to find additional support for this upgrade would be valuable.

Looking forward to your prompt response and collaboration on this project.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Warm regards,

SHAIK FAYAZ.

Hi Shaik,

I typically don't like to be seeming to advertise on the mailing list, but we're doing much of the active development work in GWT these days. Ahmad Bawaneh and I wrote many of the patches to get GWT itself ready to run on newer Java versions, including updating its own build so that we can produce the release artifacts, run samples and build docs, and run tests on Java 11-21 (there is a pending PR that will fix one test to run on Java 22 now).

Work that will need to be done will vary based on the project - some will need none at all except for updating Java and GWT, while others might need to switch to jakarta.servlet, or deal with other classloader or --add-opens issues.

We can join a project directly and make changes in collaboration with your team, or work "over your shoulder" and join screensharing calls and answer emails to keep us more at arms length as consultants who can provide examples and solutions to specific questions. We have a standard NDA, or we can review and sign your own NDA.

I'll send an email directly, and am happy to be contacted off-list for any support we can offer around GWT and its ecosystem.

Thanks,

Colin

I will be available full time from 1 september. But Colin or Frank are the real Gurus :-) I use both the Domino And Material Framework. I currently maintain for my own company several gwt app wich have total more than 1 milion line of statements.
