Compiere: Switching from Swing to GWT

Compiere recently released a new version of their open source ERP/CRM software and ported it to GWT from Swing. They sat with us, shared their experience, and showed us the application.

  1. Tech Guys ….hello …i need to learn the development of compiere ERP code from where i should start ….send me mail in details to – sunil.dutts@gmail.com

    I even need to change the code and add some forms to current Compiere ERP 3.2 how can i start doing that ….and i am java developer with average experience ….please help me ….Thank you

  2. We hit it off so well after another visit busizz4me.info

  3. Totally the ERP need focus in function not interface only, but we agreed javababyduke’s suggestion.. for RichClient Java Webstart is better than GWT

  4. Looks like a lot of ideas taken from queplix, which pioneered large GWT apps almost a year ago. But great job nevertheless! Still, looks slower then queplix, since something is notquiet right with the caching I think on the browser side. I guess its harder to switch from SWING then to write from scratch, as queplix GUI is richer and still much faster.

  5. I couldn’t help but wonder whether Java Webstart would have been better in this scenario, then Compiere could leverage their existing mature rich application, delivering it through webstart. No new technologies, keep the existing richness, why GWT?

    Don’t get me wrong, GWT is great, but I’m not convinced it was the best option here (however the video only played 50% of it, so maybe the answer was in there somewhere!).

  6. Well done Compiere.

  7. what the hell is erp

  8. wow the volume on the guys being interviewed is low

  9. I’ve recently switched over from Java development to Rails and Javascript frameworks, but I’m still curious about GWT. So I’m gonna go on a limb and install Oracle 10G Express Edition just to check out this product…

  10. this is very interesting… OpenSource rocks!!
