BTW, GWT Designer does support GWT-Ext and work on EXT GWT (GXT) is
getting close to complete (SmartGWT will be after that). See...
http://www.instantiations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2204&start=30#p11874
The problem with many 3rd party widget packages (like the two you
mention) is that they don't conform to normal GWT and/or JavaBean
standards so they require a great deal of custom support within the
GUI builder in order to provide a nice editing experience.
The latest build also includes a multi-page CSS editor so that you can
edit CSS files directly using the same CSS editing UI provided
elsewhere in the tool.
