SVN working!!!

Finally we can work with SVN and Eclipse. We have had many problems with this, because we didn't know how to work, and also because we had some problems with the SVN directory in google code.

Now we have fixed all the directory problems and we can work well, all is working fine with SVN.

Kind regards!

Working on the design

We are currently working on the structure and the design.

It takes time because we are discovering at the same time the possibilities of GWT.

We don't just work on the design but use this time in order to do tests too !

Subversion System

Although subversion System are incontrovertible system, we both never really worked with it !

So the beginning was arduous ! We spent a lot of time in order to set up it. We use google Code and the subeclipse plugin.

We had some issues with the sharing of the eclipse project : all the project, only the source file, the war folder !?

Development software and deployment

After testing eclipse we thought that it was a little bit to slow and so we looked for other solution. We tested netneans, the interface is better and the software seems more powerful and reliable.

We wanted to deploy our website on a 1and1 account, but we had some issue with the deployment of a war file. So we decide to use Google App.

The next issue was the MySQL database... we have two different databases on different webserver, but none of them are accessible from the google app server. So we study the possibilities with the google app database but finally we chose for the moment to use a free mysql provider : DBFree.

With netbeans the deployment with google app is not automatically done and moreover we discover a nice plugin in eclipse for the interface : GWT Designer. So we decided to use Eclipse.

Summary :

- Eclipse

- DBFree provider for the database

- Google App

Testing the different technologies

We already have worked with PHP in the past so we wanted to discover something else.

After testing the jquery library and look for documentation for all the javascript and AJAX library we did different HOWTO with the Google Web Toolkit !

Java is a famous langage and google is a stat of the art company... so learn how to use this toolkit is important !

Summary : we will use GWT !
