GWT-EXT

The last few weeks i've been struggling with GWT-Ext 1. Conclusion: the lay-out capabilities of GWT-Ext 1 are poor.

For example a table-layout is not possible. When using a form you can only place a limited number of widgets on it. Separate label widget is not present.

Ext v2 has much richer lay-our support. So we have to wait for GWT-Ext 2....

An initial release of GWT-Ext 2.0 will be out in a week, please check back. The Component model is fully unified and the layout API's are is vastly improved allowing you to build complex layouts easily. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. Thanks.

Hi Alex,
The GWT-Ext 2.0 has been released. I had to push the release date by a week or so because I was polishing the Showcase examples and docs but they are in good shape now.

Site : http://www.gwt-ext.com/
Demo : http://www.gwt-ext.com/demo

There are numerous layout examples that allow you to quickly build complex UI's with little effort. The layout capabilities are a lot easier to use compared to 0.9. Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Sanjiv
