Google Web Tookit (GWT) and jMaki both provide great models for
developing Ajax applications. They have differing design
approaches: jMaki is script centric and GWT is more focused on
static bindings. When used together, jMaki give GWT access to many third party libraries, with dozens of new components for the GWT developer. This blog discusses the integration of jMaki charting with GWT.

jMaki works side by side with the Open Ajax 1.0 Hub showing that the two can work together side by side.

After over 2 years of development and a great deal of help from the outside community I am happy to announce that jMaki 1.0 is available.

Yesterday we released jMaki 0.9.8 which will be our last release candidate before jMaki 1.0. Included where PHP and Ruby templates for Netbeans and an updated Ruby runtime. Now is a good time to give jMaki a closer look.

JavaScript in the enterprise tends to have a much longer shelf life than the average web application. This is especially important if you plan to use or embed a JavaScript library like Dojo in in a Java component library set that will be used for many years. In this blog I will discuss the Ant based tool we use to re-namespace Dojo for the jMaki Project.
