GWT has 3 main jars:

gwt-servlet-1.7.0.jar
gwt-user-1.7.0.jar
gwt-dev-1.7.0-linux.jar

Some of the main packages from the user jar are:

com.google.gwt.dom
com.google.gwt.emul
com.google.gwt.user

The dom package exposes, obviously, the JavaScript DOM API in Java code. 
We have extended what this package offers and created the xwiki-gwt-dom 
module.

The user package contains utility classes like Timer, Random or 
DeferredCommand and basic widgets (ui.* package) like CheckBox or 
RichTextArea. We have extended what this package offers with other 
useful utility classes like Console, ShortcutKeyManager or 
DeferredUpdater and other widgets (widget.* package) like 
VerticalResizePanel, improved RichTextArea, generic dialog wizard.

In order to be consistent I proposed a xwiki-gwt-user module. I'm open 
to your suggestions regarding the name.

Anyway, this module will be generic (reusable in any GWT application) 
without any XWiki specific code.

Hope it's clear now,
Marius
