Good to know. I picked up that argument in the beginning of my research from 
some website. It might not hold true for pyjamas and was uttered with regards 
to GWT

Ah. Nice to know. I was told that those tools are mostly  a starting point and 
when you want to do something more complex you are going to to it by hand 
anyway.

This is the information I was looking for. Thanks.

Meanwhile having read your other comments (thanks for that) I personally see 
pyjamas as a viable solution. Unfortunately there is noone on the team who can 
produce a proof of concept (or noone has said so at least).

I did the research to make it easier for someone else to start and to avoid 
having to do the research. Right now I am more then busy with some GNUmed 
features to implement.

If anyone else could come up with at proof of concept done in pyjamas that 
would be great.
