Hi, Since I get no response from the GWT dev-team on reported bugs I am beginning to wonder about the future of GWT. It looks like stability of the existing features is not very high on the list. I've heard excuses in all the previous release that you guys were going to sort out long-standing

Didn't read everything but: How come I can not use CssResource with the standard widgets of GWT ? This is easy to do... I even like more the old widgets then the new Cell widget for css customization. And as far sa I can tell, a big majority of the bug I've seen so far are often because the

When we report bugs on other opensource projects (like struts in the past or eclipse and many others) the new bug reports are quickly detected and you get some basic feedback... right now the issue tracker seems like you guys are using the SUN bug database. On a note loosely related to

Here's my example... say you want to customize MenuBar from GWT. You have to declare in your CssResource file some styles. @ClassName(mesy-MainMenu) String mesyMainMenu(); @ClassName(mesy-Separator) String mesySeparator(); Those are my two style, you don't need anything else, since everything

David, Thank for your honest feedback and your enthusiasm for GWT. Google uses GWT in many other apps besides Wave and continues to increase investment in GWT as part of Google's overall interest in improving user experience on the Web. In addition, it is an open source project with a very active

To add to David's answer: we use GWT extensively internally and externally as well. There are a number of products that launch quickly using GWT/App Engine. One of the ads tools administrative interfaces also runs on GWT. While Wave was definitely the highest profile GWT application, just keep

The @external part is what I don't like. This makes it impossible to obfuscate and thus optimize the generated code. The CssResource stuff also has the added benefit that you can not make a mistake in stylenames since it is checked at compile time. For the rest of your email, I just want to say

I read through the newsgroup thread but I must say I don't agree with everything that was said there. CssResources are really great, just too bad that they were not retrofitted to the existing widgets. I agree with you, I also was a bit suprised that it wasn't fully used by the GWT widgets,

That is: using Clientbundles/CssResources in reusable components. Suppose your component has also ImageSources and CssResources and I want to inject mine such that I change the style and images... How do you accomplish that? Yeah well in that case I would have to redesign this in a way
