There's really no such thing as a GWT page vs. a regular page. The way GWT works isn't very much like using a traditional javascript library like jquery and such, you end up writing what ever you need your popup panel to do in java and then you'll compile that java code into a javascript file that is included in your host page. The GWT compiler does all sorts of optimizations to make that resulting file as small as possible, primarily by cutting out any GWT code that you don't reference. The end result is that you drop in a javascript include into your host page (your regular page) that points to your customized file produced by the GWT compiler. That's all the wiring you need to do once you have a compiled javascript file ready to be included.
