Luca,
that's feedback I was hoping for :-)

My plans in short for aerogear-goes-errai:
    - exchange Jackson ser/deser provider with Errai databinding for entities
    - create simple templated UI for entities
    - extend entities with base set of annotations
    - provide GWT compiler options in plugin (e.g. --style PRETTY)

Summary: produce a simple yet extendable app using Metawidget based scaffolding mechanism "fromEntity"

Step 1: revamp a generated Aerogear app to use Errai - see the delta
Step 2: analyze possible improvements / best practices
Step 3: introduce experience into Metawidget scaffold
Step 4: implement forge commands for controlling generation/update of source

Timeframe: Jan, 2013

It would be great to have you provide input e.g. on step 2, experience is key in this step - and that's not what I can provide yet.

Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas, we are using GWT from 2006 (a beta version 1.0) and we stopped developing with pure JavaScript (not for Internet sites indeed), and from there we developed about 200 Intranet applications with a very good impact on management.

I think that handcrafted JS is not suitable for Enterprise.

About communication, we first used my own framework for JSON serialization (http://code.google.com/p/productive-gwt/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fgwt-framework%2Fgwt-framework-rest) but now I'm going to upgrade to Errai which is a framework that will us to develop in an homogeneus way client/server.

And also I can stop mantaining that home made framework :)

Which kind of PoC do you plan to write ?
