Yes, yes and YES ! ;) The lack of pure GWT widgets really does hurt, I was hoping that some of the Wave stuff would be made available but nothing appeared. The GWT incubator project provides a few useful things, but progress does seem to be painfully slow - we need a few more Googlers to commit some 20% time to a widget library. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
