gwt-incubator - what’s in it?

gwt-incubator project is basically a gwt playpen area. It has a pretty good wiki with examples and descriptions. I just looked over the incubator trunk and compiled most of the demos and would like to share my summary of the widgets.

1) bulk loading table - basically a high performance HTML table generator based on innerHTML approach. No fancy demos, but here is the screenshot:

2) generator example - an example of a GWT generator. Nothing fancy but educational.

3) DatePicker - a pretty slick GWT calendar widget

4) Dropdown listbox - some kind of a new widget based a some newly prototyped GWT event model (it seems):

5) FastTree - again, another bulk generator this time for trees. Pretty neet and fast:

6) LogginDemo - basically an enhanced version of GWT logger for the browsers.

7) Paging scroll table and Scroll table - sophisticated grid/table widget supporting editing, column resizing, paging etc.


8) Pinned Panel - a neat sliding panel type widget with the panel capable of rolling from a side of the screen:

9) Progress bars - the oft requested GWT feature but for some reason missing from the core GWT:

10) Slider Bar - a powerful and sophisticated GWT slider implementation:

11) Spinners - anything non-visual that can spin, can be spinned :). pretty interesting, IMO:

12) Style injector/Immutable Resource Bundle - injecting CSS into GWT compilation result using annotations, and writing code within CSS to customize for different browsers or what not.

13) YouTube widget (or any Flash object) - embed YouTube videos or whatever other objects using GWT.
