Why does GWT 2.7 discontinue the GWT Designer?
As per GWT 2.7.0 (RC1) Release Note , GWT Designer is deprecated. I use the tool for some complex UI design in my project. Just don't know why this happens and what are alternatives without it. appbootup The GWT Designer is no longer the focus of the GWT Steering Committee (Members include Google, Vaadin, Sencha etc ) As stated the code is open sourced and if anybody is interested they can take ownership of it to revive it. Going back in history Google bought the company that built the designer and utilised some parts of it initially and later on abandoned the designer with very little commits
