Hi all,

I don't agree with Arthur. You save a lot of time using one of these
libraries. In both cases you don't have to care about CSS and you have
much more widgets than "vanilla" GWT. On the other side, both
libraries are not as mature as GWT, so you will find isolated issues.
Obviously, if you want a fully customized design, maybe "vanilla" GWT
is better.

I have tested both libraries and choose to use Ext GWT. I use it since
April and it makes me saving a lot of time. Here is the result of my
comparison :
Ext GWT  (the ExtJS GWT library) :
++ this is a fully native GWT library (it is not wrapping JS code and
therefore fully benefits from GWT compiler optimizations and debugging
features)
+ the library is supported by ExtJS company, which is already a
popular and recognized javascript framework
+ MVC layer
- less features for now
- if you want to distribute your product and don't want to do it under
GPL license you will have to buy a commercial license (289$ for one
developer)

GWT-Ext :
+ more features (especially experimental Yahoo UI Charts integration)
- This is a library wrapping ExtJS (Javascript code). Therefore
debugging is limited
- no support for ExtJS > 2.0.2
- no GWT RPC integration (except if you buy the commercial extension
GWT-Ext Plus)

Regards Nicolas
