Well, there's Ext-GWT (also referred to as GXT). The plus is that it is written entirely in Java. GWT-EXT are JSNI wrappers for Ext-JS.
The negative is that there is near-zero documentation (and mostly insufficient code-comments) for it. Basically you learn it by looking at source code for the demos or you pay the one developer thousands of dollars to come teach you. This is very unfortunate because in addition to the GUI components there's fairly neat and robust MVC framework. But you'll spend a lot of time trying to figure it out if you don't pay them to come teach you about the framework. It's a bit buggy, but if you post a bug in the support forums, they tend to get fixed very promptly but you can only get the fix quickly if you pay for support/license. But maintenance releases seem to come out very frequently (like every 4-5 weeks or so.) The component library reasonably robust, but chances are you'll find something you want missing. Summary: Except for the gaping absence of documentation, it's pretty good. But you have to take that into account as you'll either pay thousands to learn it or spend hours doing what is essentially "reverse engineering" it.
