Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] SWT port to Flex
|
Hi,
The GWT-class lib IMHO has many leaks and is incompatible with
Java-Implementations (e.g. they don't have the field necessary to not
corrupt an Collection when using an interator, they miss so essential
interfaces like Runnable and we (Boris knows it) couldn't convince them
to add such an interface :-(.
Last year I created a port of EMF for GWT and I used the classes from
Harmony because they are 100% Java-compatible and don't miss methods and
classes like the GWT reimplementation does. By the way the creation for
Flex and GWT would help to port other projects to GWT like (EMF).
