I'm quick learner... :) What I mean by that is, given that RAP is a
requirement, would it make sense to invest in some time to learn and add
riena to the list. But this has been already ansered below.

After writing this email, I have investigated the demos & samples and
the wiki in some more detail. Also being justified by your reply, I had
come to a conclusion that is the same.
I can see the following bits that makes sense:
- The remote services (+security)
- the ridgets (Along with visiblity / mandotary etc features)
- Using the task driven GUI
- Theming
Remote services should be no problem. As pointed out by you, task driven
GUI (Therefore themes) needs some progress. Ridgets are probably the
feature I would like to use right away the most, but I guess I'll have
to wait for that too.

Keep up the good work. Looking forward to use Riena in the next project

Interesting work you are doing. I did some testing myself to get Riena ridgets to work with RAP. The approach was more
along the lines to get the snippets running with RAP. There are as you wrote things like Paintlisteners sometimes or
KeyListener Events that are missing.
However we are more looking to get support for those tiny bits that are still missing in RAP itself. Once the snippets
for the ridgets work, we will find a better and different way to do the Navigation. I image that can be visualized which
much simpler SWT controls and then CSS in the browser could do the styling.
My intention was to start a wiki page once that Galileo train has reached its destination about the open topics, missing
pieces, issues and then take it from there.
christian
p.s. have you got any work examples, snippets or anything that you can share. would be interested to see how far you got.
