Assuming the GUI library you mentioned is a GWT module, the easiest
thing to do is to reference the CSS file from the module definition
file:
<stylesheet src="Library.css"/>
Then make sure that Library.css is in a package named "public" next to
the module definition file. The CSS will then be automatically loaded
when the module is loaded on the host page. Just be careful with your
selectors, since they will be global to the page. This method is best
for ".gwt-*" styles.
If you don't need the styles on the host page outside of where the
application lives, you should consider using ClientBundle and
CssResource instead:
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideUiBinder.html#Using_an_external_resource
That will obfuscate (and optimize) your class selectors so they don't
collide with anything on the host page. You also get programmatic
access to the obfuscated class names so you can dynamically apply the
styles. Based on your description, this would probably be the best
approach in your case.
