GWT-Ext 0.9.3 has been released. GWT-Ext 0.9.3 is compatible with Ext 1.1.1 and GWT 1.4 Final. Several new examples have been added to the Showcase demos and it is going to be updated frequently with new additions so check back often. - Last Update 11/11

GWT provides a great platform for building rich web applications using a Swing like Java API. However the widgets that GWT provides out of the box are fairly primitive and requires a lot of work by the user (widget extension and beautifying using CSS) in order to build nicer looking UI's. Ext on the other hand has a large number of polished widgets but requires the developer to be proficient in Javascript in order to build larger well designed web apps. With GWT-Ext, you get the best of both worlds!
