gwt-incubator – what’s in it?
Posted in compiler, widgets on September 4th, 2008 by Tim – 1 Commentgwt-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.
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.
