I have been away from GWT for too long, but this begs a question. Since UiBinder can do everything that that you can do through code and does not restrict you in any way, what is the hesitation? UiBinder markup is more soothing to the eye than the UI code written in Java. Besides, UI/UX designers who cannot stand java code will appreciate the simplicity of uiBinder markup. This is for you to prototype and vetting by google coders will not leave you in any better position. – Hike

Indeed it makes it simple to build UI. That would also raise the query from management as to which google gwt product uses it :) – Belisle

Tell them tell them they are not google and google does not do CRUD apps. UiBinder does not bring in as much value for a dashboard type app as it does for CRUD. – Hike

Can you tell me where you got this list ? or any proof for that ? – Bocanegra

Its fascinating that you put a comment on this question after getting it closed a year ago!!!!! The above list is published across some gwt google groups discussion and GWT Google+ discussion by Google Dev RAY Cromwell -> plus.google.com/+RayCromwell/posts/ivVepvxCu3g – Belisle

Answer 1

It's nearly impossible to tell with certainty, because UiBinder generates code that you could have written by hand, but if you see large chunks of HTML in the script then there are good chances they come from an HTMLPanel in a UiBinder template or a UiRenderer; particularly if the string ends with <span id=' or starts with '></span> (but it could also simply come from a SafeHtmlTemplates or a hand-coded HTMLPanel or setInnerHTML call.

Is there any way any google engineer can shed light on this? Should i cross post this on gwt google groups since this is closed here? – Belisle

No harm in trying, but I must say I can't see what it'll buy you. RenderablePanel was added by Orkut engineers and it plays best with UiBinder so Orkut must be using UiBinder, now "so what?" – Scalene

That's a start. Orkut most probably uses UiBinder. – Belisle
