Thank you for the reply, here is some clarification to the questions I
have:
** no wyswug viewer & GWT Designer
I have tried the GWT Designer, and I was referring by calling it
Window Builder in my previous post. I know I can get the wyswug
viewer, but seems like it only work if the gui is created thru GWT
Designer. And by do so GWT Designer actually generate Java code
instead of generating the UiBinder files. And I have not been able to
see how to get it work on a set of UiBinder files. Please correct me
if I am doing it wrong.
** no event click navigation from the ui.xml file
This is a direct comparison between the UiBinder way and the GWT
Designer. In GWT Designer, I can view the gui and use the mouse the
navigate to associated event codes for any widgets. However, if I am
working on the ui.xml file, I can't seem to easily bring up a list of
event handler code thats associated with a particular field. I have to
actually take the uifield name, open the java view implementation
manually and look for the field there, and then do a text search to
look for the method that is marked with @UiHandler("fieldname").
Which is cumbersome compare to GWT Designer.
Please let me know if I am not utilizing the GWT eclipse plugin
correctly or there is some secret settings that I need to set to make
GWT Designer work with ui.xml files. I would love to easily bring the
editor up and assign & edit css styles with ease thru GWT Designer.
And thank you for the pointers to the other declarative technologies,
like everybody else in this field, I will look at them when I get the
time.
Thanks,
Joseph
