Any updates on Vaadin regarding gwt 2.0 ?
All the best, Pether
The 6.2 release is just around the corner, so I don’t know if the R&D team is even going to try to get GWT 2.0 into it. Currently the upgrade to GWT 2.0 is scheduled for Vaadin 6.3 which should be out in March-April 2010 (at least according to current development cycle)
Just tried gwt 2.0.0 out together with 6.2.0.pre1, and my current simple views works 
Pether
Vaadin 6.2 will use GWT 1.7. After the 6.2.0 release we will start working on 6.3 and that will use GWT 2.0.
There should thus be 6.3 nightlys (that use GWT 2.0) available before the end of the month/year.
I’ve just installed 6.2 via the Eclipse plugin. Previous to looking at vaadin, I was working on GWT 2.0, and I really love the ability to debug in FF with Firebug, especially for CSS/layout issues.
Is there any detailed procedures on what I would do to get 6.3 nightly working with GWT 2.0? Where/how do I install a 6.3 nightly build version of the Eclipse plugin, etc.? Or is this really not a good idea for a newbie to vaadin? But a March timeframe seems far enough out that if I could view/debug the client in FF/Firebug now, it might be worth other headaches since I won’t release my code until after that time.
Thanks for any tips…
I have been using GWT2 beta for vaadin 6.1.5 (was that the version prior to 6.2) and GWT 2 for 6.2 on Eclipse galileo without problems.
I simply replace the GWT 1.7 supplied by vaadin with GWT 2.0 on the build path config. Google plugin will then ensure that the war lib has GWT 2.0 jars.
Make sure that gwt 1.7 jars are not found in the war lib folder.
To use GWT 2.0 with Vaadin 6.3 nightly builds, simply install the “experimental” version of the Eclipse plugin (update site http://vaadin.com/eclipse/experimental) and download a Vaadin 6.3 nightly build to your project. The first nightly builds for 6.3 change very little from 6.2 apart from supporting GWT 2.0.
The latest development version of the plugin can also create a GWT 2.0 development mode server launch configuration for Eclipse from Project Properties → Vaadin (same button as hosted mode launch generation for older GWT versions).
Most Vaadin features seems to work reasonably well with GWT 2.0, although there are still at least some differences (e.g. the table component height differs somewhat from earlier versions).
