bouwkamp.com

Today I moved the gwt.bouwkamp.com project to a new name: cobogw.org. I guess, it’s completely unpronounceable ;-), but I like abbreviations, the domain was free and the name isn’t used. That can be an issue nowadays. The new name is to better reflect the open source nature of the project (moving from a .com extension to a .org). The new project is hosted on google code, just as the old project was, http://code.google.com/p/cobogw/ (Or you can reach the project site via www.cobogw.org).

New release, GWT 1.5 support

I’ve released a packaged version of the cobogw project, which contains an easy to use jar file containing all widgets, source code and javadoc. With this release some new widgets are added and the jar file is also available as as GWT 1.5 compatible only version. You can find the zipped files at the download site. The new widgets/classes are:

• Rating - A widget that allows users to set ratings (demo).
• Span/TextNode - Widgets to add span an textnode tags to other widgets without overhead of additional div tags (demo).
• CSS - A helper class to help with CSS properties.

On the project site you can also find examples and javadoc documentation for existing and new widgets.

Let me know what you think of the new name and new widgets.
