I would strongly suggest that you stay away from the entire Ext
family. They have and continue to have a very deceptive licensing
scheme. It's licensed under GPL so you cannot use it commercially
unless you are will to open source you client source code *and* your
server side source code according to thier very terms of use - which
is very bizarre. Secondly even if you do end up buying a commercial
license at $329 / license, you still do not have access to the bug fix
releases.

The $329 / license really doesn't get you much. Version 2.0 final of
ExtGWT was pretty much demoware with over 100 critical bugs. 4 - 6
months later several bugs have been fixed but license holders are not
entitled to the latest bug fix release of 2.0.3. You not only need a
license but you need a support subscription to download the latest
stable version.

See http://www.extjs.com/products/gxt/download.php
http://www.extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?p=393316#post393316

So the real cost of the license is $629 / license / year. In addition
to this be prepared to pay frequent upgrade fees for no good reason.
Users were required to buy upgrade licenses within less than a year of
the ExtGWT 1.0 release because they did an *internal* refactoring to
clean up the code and not because new features were added to justify
the 2.0 release.

A final word of caution - read the terms of their commercial license
very carefully and run it by your legal. It's not your typical
commercial license that you'd expect with a commercial product. They
have some really severe restrictions that might even require you end
user / customer to buy a commercial license of ExtGWT.
