Working with GWT
I was really struggling with using GWT and having to give up all of the great stuff in JQuery. But then along came GQuery. Check it out here: http://code.google.com/p/gwtquery/wiki/GettingStarted
If you use the code, make sure you look at this issue and grab this jar or apply the patch to get the compile to work right in GWT 2.0. http://code.google.com/p/gwtquery/issues/detail?id=22
Ray Cromwell did a nice job on this library — making valid syntax that looks like jquery. And since it’s java, you get code complete benefits, javadoc, etc. Sweet.
