Im' trying to build a system that uses a gwt client as a frontend and should use the CDO solution as backend. has any one done these before?

Is the GWT integration in EMF going to become part of the main EMF?

I've not done that, no.

I'm not sure what you mean by "main EMF"...

I mean the released downloads of emf. For example I tried for development purposes to use a file based model in the server. Try to send it to the browser change some things and send the ChangeDescription back to the server to have it merged into the model.

To integrate the file handling I didn't manage otherwhise but to copy the missing classes as source into the project and peace my solution together. I hope if the gwt part is more integrated I could just use it.

I was very much impressed that I can get a gwt client out of the box that just worked. But the used technologies do not suit our project. So we will not use app engine but hopefully CDO as backed storage. And on client side we will use the gxt widgets not the gwt widgets. And it feels hard to adapt to cheese changes.

Well, the GMF runtime is of course a runtime thing, so you can't install
it in your IDE, only in the target platform.

Yes, that's an interesting use case.

Missing classes?

The only direct solution we've provided is based on AppEngine.

No, you often will want a full EMF runtime on the server side, but
there's just no resource/funding to further develop such interesting things.

Yes, that would be interesting.

Yes, you'd need to write your own versions of some of the layers, i.e.,
communication and UI. There really isn't any significant active development
