I was looking for range and selection API support for the GWT RTA.
If I remember well then I found the XWiki SVN by googling around, but it 
wasn't easy :)

(rocket-gwt has some selection support as well 
(http://code.google.com/p/rocket-gwt/wiki/Selections), but that project 
does not seem to be as active as XWiki.)

I plan to write a blog entry about my experiences with the XWiki RTA - 
if you don't mind.
