Feature Request: Add GWT wrapper


Posted on Jun 8, 2008 by Grumpy Bear

I'd really like to see a Google Web Kit (GWT) wrapper for this library.

It's already there, just not officially released yet. It's part of official Google AJAX API wrapper: http://code.google.com/p/gwt-google-apis/

In Downloads, search ALL downloads, then you will find the map stuff. It works pretty well. Some issues with extending customized map type a while ago, not sure if it is fixed or not. Some discussions here: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/thread/80729d40791eca39/6947b4ccaa05cf40?#6947b4ccaa05cf40

Also, there is a long time project at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gwt/, it is not from Google.

The GWT wrapper just wraps aspects of the core API, it doesn't wrap any of these user extensions yet.

Indeed, gwt-google-apis doesn't wrap user extensions like MarkerManager or MapIconMaker

see http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/thread/3bf4c0a1a57d8c70/fa37f64d9306150c?show_docid=fa37f64d9306150c

Please wrap your work in GWT :)

I Wrapped a few basic functions of the MarkerManager. Well, to be true: I copied the old MarkerManager-Code from gwt-google-apis (http://code.google.com/p/gwt-google-apis/) and removed a few caracters to make it work. ;)

I'll have to add some more functions. If someone needs this or want's to continue work on it, maybe we can open a project?

Hi lajuette- I think it'd make sense to contribute that to the gwt-google-apis project, not to this one. I'm sure they'd welcome community contributions. Let me know if you can't get in touch with them; I can connect you.

Hi Pamela,

hmmmyeah. don't ask my why i haven't thought about that. Maybe because of a latent lack of coffeine? I posted something on the google web toolkit forum and hope i'll get an answer.

So long... Lennart
