Screaming Penguin

This post is jumping the gun a little bit, so consider it distant early warning, if you will. Cooper has been hard at work lately on a GWT Framework that is pretty damn amazing. The idea was a framework to allow an MVC pattern to be easily applied to GWT widgets, and also enable introspection and two way binding very simply. From there you can build really cool - and smart - GWT components with ease. What kind of components? Well the sample is almost ready, but stuff like data bound tables, animations and effects, validation, and an overall application "FlowController." I am admittedly short on details because I am personally still trying to keep up with the guy (he has been on a tear lately), and because, well, this is still alpha time. Until the sample is more fully baked, if you are interested, you can check out a few of the docs and the source itself (which does have an example, though not entirely polished yet). I just thought it was time gwittr got some press (not a release announcement, yet, but some mention - when it's ready it will hit the GWT mailing list). Gwittir http://code.google.com/p/gwittir/ And gwittir makes use of the small but convenient Freeze Dry project that is also worth honorable mention. GWT Freeze Dry http://code.google.com/p/gwt-freezedry/ And all of our GWT endeavors use Maven of course. GWT-Maven http://code.google.com/p/gwt-maven/
