Plans for 1.4?

[doubtintom]

Hello Matt

Fabulous library. I'm close to releasing a GWT app to a client, and
would really like to have glass pane dialogs. They are so impressive.

But I built the app using GWT 1.4.10 :-(

What are your plans regarding 1.4? Is it a crazy idea for me to think
that I could try compiling the tk against 1.4 and see if the glass
panes work?

Thanks!

Tom

Hi Tom,

I ran GWT Tk against GWT RC1 last week. Though I didn't test
thoroughly, the GlassPanel seemed to be working OK. There was one
issue w/ dialog centering, which should not happen in GWT 1.4 RC2:
http://code.google.com/p/gwt-tk/issues/detail?id=15

I don't anticipate any major compatibility problems GWT 1.4. I expect
to do a release to remove some of my DOM bug fixes; this will probably
happen mid to late September.

Thanks Mat

Just a minute ago I encountered the centering problem. Then I just
happened to check the GWTTk group and saw your message. The tip just
saved me a lot of time trying to figure it out!

I got things to compile just fine. Yes, the glass panes and dialogs
are working well.

One thing I noticed, in the asquare.gwt.tk.uitest.alertdialog.Demo, I
get an IllegalArgumentException in FocusModel#setFocusWidget which is
triggered by a null widget passed, which in turn is sent there by
FocusModel#getFocusWidget which can't find the widget (a button I
think) in the m_widgets.Vector. This was several days ago, but I
recollect that it turned out to be caused by the button not being
given a TabOrder. Don't know if that is something dumb I did, a 1.4
issue or what.

Thanks again for a great toolkit.

Apologies for the slight thread topic redirection but as we're on the
topic of GWT1.4, I thought it a reasonable place to ask the
question...

If I want to compile from source (using GWT1.4 RC2) is there anything
that is required of the environment (shell environment varaibles etc)
that need to be setup or is it just the case of using the default ant
build script?

Hi Andy,

Sorry for the delayed response; I've been out on vacation.

The project does not have a comprehensive build process ATM. A while
back I decided to address this by creating a Maven2 build, but I got
side-tracked by acquiring full time employment at a startup.

Here is the breakdown of the build responsibilities:

Eclipse:
* compile to .class binaries (JRE 1.4 compat)
* run unit tests ("Run all tests in the selected project..." option)

build.xml:
* create jars
* compile Demo app (in my setup, Eclipse supplies the "project.dir" variable)
* run javadoc

Regarding your question, there are no shell variables to set. You will
need to edit the global.properties to set "gwt.lib.location" to your
GWT 1.4 dir.

Also note that the default build target just prints out the GWT tool
usage messages.

Thanks Matt!
