July release

There are many new versions of GWT appearing these days: 2.0.4, 2.1.0M1 and an upcoming 2.1.0M2. Because lib-gwt-svg integration with UiBinder uses internal GWT classes (alas there is no public API for extending UiBinder parsers yet), it needs to follow these changes very closely to remain compatible. I have issued a number of versions myself to [...]

lib-gwt-svg goals and design

Library goals

lib-gwt-svg tries to reach the following goals:

Provide a clean, GWT-friendly API
Hide the idiosyncrasies of vendor SVG implementations
Reuse existing GWT features wherever possible to eliminate code duplication and impedance mismatch
Stick to the W3C standard, unless it duplicates an existing GWT feature or the GWT feature is too incomplete

On the topic of GWT initialization

Ideally SVG ought to be embedded as a subtree inside an xhtml document, or be linked in an html document through an <a href=”my.svg”> tag. GWT would provide the logic to make these graphics dynamic…
