My PC is dead — may it rest in peace…
So my PC is dead. Well, not really dead, but I am sick of it. I am sick of Windows. I am sick of reformatting every year to make it perform. Its time for a new box. And I just ordered a dream machine. So, in the meantime, I figured I would waste some time.
So I decided to play a bit with the Google Web Toolkit. There were really a few motivations here.
- Several recent posts on the dojo-interest mailing list about Dojo/GWT integration.
- I have been somewhat dissatisfied with my options for a Javascript IDE. I use Aptana on Eclipse. It is very comfortable, because I have been using Eclipse for Java forever. But it really is a glorified syntax-coloring text editor when used with Dojo. Komodo is very impressive, but it has one tragic flaw — it only exists in a single window. I have 3 monitors, and it makes me cry when I have to stretch a single window across more than one just to make it feel right.
- GWT could leverage my already existing Java knowledge
So, while I wait for the dream machine to arrive, its time to dabble… Wish me luck!
“Komodo is very impressive, but it has one tragic flaw — it only exists in a single window.”
We’re working on that.
