"Creating and maintaining custom widgets is discouraged" Really? I had the opposite impression. I understand why it might be discouraged, but from everything I've heard the GWTers tend to assume that they are only providing basic building blocks in the widgets package. I could be wrong (and I would like to be; maintaining custom widgets _is_ a pain), so if you have any references indicating otherwise, let me know!
