This component is written in pure JavaScript and is library / toolkit neutral Community: Java Enterprise gmurray71 2008-10-26T17:28:42-08:00 http://weblogs.java.net/blog/gmurray71/archive/2007/12/jmaki_and_gwt_k.html Google Web Tookit (GWT) and jMaki both provide great models for developing Ajax applications. They have differing design approaches: jMaki is script centric and GWT is more focused on static bindings. When used together, jMaki give GWT access to many third party libraries, with dozens of new components for the GWT developer. This blog discusses the integration of jMaki charting with GWT.

Included where PHP and Ruby templates for Netbeans and an updated Ruby runtime. Now is a good time to give jMaki a closer look.

This is especially important if you plan to use or embed a JavaScript library like Dojo in in a Java component library set that will be used for many years. In this blog I will discuss the Ant based tool we use to re-namespace Dojo for the jMaki Project.

The revolver provides an alternative way to provide top level navigation. This widget can run in the context of jMaki or in a regular web page.

A great deal of work has been done with Dojo and Firefox to provide local storage and now Google has put it's weight behind it. Now is the time to take local storage seriously.

In some cases such as with portals, partner sites, and with value add services we do not want to provide resources for free to everyone. This posting will discuss how to create a service that is requires an API key to access it and the code require to generate the API key.

Here are some sessions and BOFs where you can learn more and meet those behind the project.

I have found that you can stay in the same operating system and still do all your testing using a new feature Parallels called convergence.

Now it is time to get to work. As the framework is now stabilizing I have created a detailed presentation on jMaki which covers the architecture and key features.
