Re: Monday January 16 Triangle Java Users Group meeting

There was a question last night about the differences between our
GWT4[Flex/Flash/Air] that was left unanswered.

Gwt4Flash is basically a Java (GWT) port of the core Flash API plus some
games engines like Starling, etc. It does not contains the Flex Framework,
but other Flash based libraries that are more lightweight then Flex. So one
would basically use it for stuff like games where loading the SWF must be
fast.

Gwt4Flex leverages Gwt4GFlash and adds support for the Flex framework.
Because the Flex framework is heavy and slow to start you would use
Gwt4Flex when targeting RIA but not games.

Gwt4AIR adds desktop integration, basically giving the ability to turn any
Flash/Flex or simple Web app into a standalone desktop application. Not
only it provides stand-alone support, it also gives access to the native
API.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
