Re: MVP *without* UiBinder

Hi Jeff,

Is there some special tools u are using to build utilize the UiBinder
way to easily build gui?
I tried it, but I also tried Google's latest offering on the Window's
Builder, which in gives me the impression that it is way more
efficient to build gui with. The tools directly support event click
code navigation right under eclipse, supports css styling directly
with code completion,it event supports reparsing the source to
regenerate the dev view in the tool in case the tool crashed and so
far it worked pretty good.

However when I go the UiBinder way, I got no code completion support,
no event click navigation from the ui.xml file, no wyswug viewer
without deploying the code to see what it looks like. And worst of
all, the assosociated java editor in eclipse all highlighting the
uibinder fields are not found in the ui.xml file. All these makes the
whole thing feel disconnected and not so well tooled compared to the
GWT Windows Builder. So I am wonder if I am missing something when u
say it helps u being productive?


Thanks
Joseph
