Are you actively working on it? Do you already have something ready? :-) I see. Are you actively working on it? Do you already have something ready? :-)

But since I want to start on new bases (SVG, external widget library), I do not believe I will be able to reuse much of the existing code. For instance, with SVG I will not need to do my own picking or my own rendering; and if I use a third-party widget library, I will not have to write all this custom widget code, which is very time consuming.

Going though the code it seems very well written, I'm impressed. Why the rewrite, is the current code base not stable enough or problematic in some areas?

Actually, I am more thinking of a complete rewrite on a different basis (keep GWT, but use SVG + a yet to be determined UI toolkit). This is why I am developing lib-gwt-svg. I am currently refining this library and learning the ropes with simpler projects like lib-gwt-svg-edu and lib-gwt-svg-chess, but the idea is to get started on an actually usable / "industrial" vectomatic2 once these pieces are in place. Regarding version 1, my plans are to make just enough changes to keep it running and also fix bugs which always make a poor impression but I hope that by next year it can be replaced by the new version.

Are you planning on further developing/bugfixing it? It uses a lot of deprecated classes (mostly GWT 2.0 event handling) and undo is sometimes flaky. Cheers!
