If GWT was a tag library or a jsf component this would be a non-issue.
Although I like their thinking out of the box choosing a non standard
platform to develop a solution just makes it harder and more difficult
to invest in developing tools for it. As ajax is the cool buzzword of
the moment some investment in tooling will be made by the giants but I'd
be more inclined that things like DWR, dojo, prototype, moo.fx and
scriptaculus are to be more widely accepted. Perhaps the google guys
would like to donate some code to the WTP ajax project? What I would
like to see is better integration with the existing web frameworks (or a
more clearly documented point of integration), both controller or
component based.
Don't get down guys, if you believe in yourselves you can do it! A
project like this is ideal to excel in extending eclipse and I bet
Google might even add it to it's Summer of Code grants. Just open a
sourceforge project and start coding.
PS. I like the "There is a process" comment. It's a glimpse of how an
organization like IBM (or should I say the eclipse foundation?) must
think in order to keep large scale projects like these predictable. That
said, you can think out of the box :)
Anyhow, was the wtp/eclipse push in embedding ajax tooling something
hinted by the marketing/executive department or was it user feedback?
