Wow, that looks quite impressive! That is almost too desktop-like for my 
needs, I didn't mean an actual desktop :P 

Well, I think I will have to spent more time on that and take a closer look 
at each of those libraries. 
When I started searching I thought I will just add a new dependency to my 
pom.xml and I am ready to go but nah ..

It seems that I will install each of those libs and try out a few things..

I am not sure if you can help me with that but do you have a clue why I am 
getting this error: [1] 
I tried to make Smart GWT work earlier that day but I couldn't find out 
what the problem might be here.

However, thank you for your help and advice! I'll read through all of it 
again tomorrow but it's 4 am her in Austria and I think I should
go to bed anytime soon :D
