Calling all GWT web sites!

I would love to hear from anyone currently using GWT for a web site or anyone that is in the process or using GWT for a new web site. Please post comments here with your site address and description. If you really feel nice you can also add in all the other libraries or technologies that you incorporated in building your GWT powered site. BTW - my favorite GWT combination is GWT 1.5 + GWT Incubator + Eclipse + Apache Tomcat 5.5

Thanks!

GWT web apps tutorial

Google Chrome and GWT

After installing Google Chrome web browser today I tried out a couple of GWT applications that I have created using GWT 1.5. So far so good. I noticed quickly that my GWT apps were using the Safari version of the GWT code. Performance of GWT in Google Chrome was great. I need to do some more testing to be sure that my GWT apps are working as expected with Google Chrome.

Make great looking GWT projects by using the Ext GWT Framework

Now that GWT version 1.5 is available for download, using the Ext GWT rich internet application framework for GWT is now possible. GXT is designed to support GWT 1.5 forward. From my experience using GXT in your projects does increase compile time for your GWT project, so be aware of that moving forward. I have started plaing around with GXT. So far the dialogue boxes are very handy, they are asyncronus unlike the dialogue boxes found in javascript so you have much more flexability in your applications. Also the progress bars are a very nice touch when you have GWT applications that require some extended processing time.

Google Web Toolkit Version 1.5 is now officially released

Great news for GWT users. GWT version 1.5.2 is now here! Time to upgrade all those older versions of GWT to the new 1.5 code. I have upgraded a couple of my project from 1.4 to 1.5.1 with little problem.
