Re: You have large GWT 2.x application and you don't know what to do when 3.0 is out ?

Thomas,

With all respect this is absolutely not FUD spreading . How can this be FUD spreading when we discuss about this for more than a month? Is there anything I said that is not true or not said before on this group or GWT Contributors group? Just take a look what is written on this post (you posted there as well) : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-web-toolkit-contributors/1t6x_Zg1E8I and there was more than 1100 views in 3 weeks so people are more than interested to know what will happen. I am just one of them.

It is not my imagination that something will be gone or not, other people are reading posts as I do. All I said here is just a result of prior discussions on this and GWT Contributors forum by other authors. All of the questions are left without reasonable answers. People simply do not know what to do in situations like this and they are concerned about the future of their large application.

From the link above: David is just an example user who is concerned about the future of his large applications. I am also like David, I have large application as well (700 forms currently and it's growing fast)  and have the same problem. The difference between me and David is probably in that I took "protective" approach from the beginning because it happen to me before, almost the same thing. We had to rewrite complete application from scratch because of the similar reasons. This is not about GWT, it happened before with other libraries and it will happen in the future as well.

Yes you are right I am sure Sencha, Vaadin and SmartClient will do something to support their clients on 2.x branch, I just wonder who will support people that are not their clients and who would be happy to stay on 2.x for another 10 years. The first group will be bound to Sencha, Vaadin, SmartClient even more than before, so how can they move to something else tomorrow? My blog post is talking about this as well and as I said before, it is not about GWT 3.0 at all, this is just an example.

This post was intention to give all of them some ideas how to protect themselves from this kind of problems in the future. They can make something similar that is explained in the blog by themselves. This post has a link to a blog that discuss problems and offers ideas how to solve them. It is not a link to a product or services page.

I do not think it's fair to call this FUD spreading.

Regards,

Predrag.
