We're happy to say that the first Release Candidate for the Google Maps API Library for Google Web Toolkit <http://code.google.com/p/gwt-google-apis/>is now ready to be taken for a test drive. The Maps library provides a way to access the Google Maps API from a GWT project without having to write additional JavaScript code. The library gives you full control using the standard Maps components such as InfoWindows, Markers, MapTypes, and Geocoding. You can even use advanced features such as adding GWT widgets to the Map, creating custom overlays, custom map types, and other components. The Google API Libraries for GWT <http://code.google.com/p/gwt-google-apis>project is a collection of libraries that provide Java language bindings and API specific plumbing for some Google JavaScript APIs. The goal is to make it easy for developers to use these JavaScript APIs with GWT. This release of the Maps <http://code.google.com/apis/maps> library complements the recent release candidates for the Gears<http://code.google.com/apis/gears/>, Gadgets <http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/> and the Google AJAX Search<http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch>APIs. With this set of release candidates, each library is now distributed separately so that you can download<http://code.google.com/p/gwt-google-apis/downloads/>only the specific library you are interested in.
We encourage you to try these release candidates out and give us feedback, either through the issue tracker<http://code.google.com/p/gwt-google-apis/issues/list>on code.google.com, or through the Google-Web-Tolkit<http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit>or Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors<http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors>group. - The Google API Libraries for GWT Team --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
