I'm a developer working on a web application that runs on mobile devices. The idea has been floated by others on my team that we should switch to using GWT.<p>The biggest argument is that Java has compile-time type checking and better language constructs. Second, the backend is written in Java so there could be some code reuse.<p>The web app has completely custom UI elements with animation, has to support touch and remote control input, and limited CPU. It's not a vanilla enterprise or CRM application.<p>Any thoughts? Has anyone out there written a mobile web app using GWT?
Can you prototype the UI in GWT first, and then see if it's worth the trouble to port your existing app to GWT?<p>There isn't likely to be that much code reuse with GWT between the client and the server - maybe some validation code.<p>I'd look at jQuery Mobile before GWT if I wanted to pick a Javascript framework for mobile web apps.<p>Hope this helps
