It really depends what kind of breadcrumb support you want to have.
The widget itself to display breadcrumbs is probably quite simple (List of
Hyperlink widgets separated by ">"). However the harder part is to populate
the breadcrumb.
Basically you distinguish between breadcrumbs which show to the current
page hierarchy or breadcrumbs which show the navigational history.
For example if your url encodes the hierarchy of your current page (i.e.
#product/{id}/detail ) you can read that out and display a breadcrumb (i.e.
Products > {id] > Details).
However in case you want to display other information in your breadcrumbs
(say title of the product) you probably have to access the backend to
retrieve the information.
Navigational history can also be displayed by using the History mechanism
of GWT (you could store each navigation event or place change in a HashMap)
and display it in the breadcrumb.
Unfortunately I don't know of any widget which supports these functions out
of the box and I guess creating a generic one is probably not that use
because it really depends on your use case.
