After quite a while reading up about UiBinder and ClientBundle, ImageResource, CssResource, etc. from this page: http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideClientBundle.html (cunningly placed under "Optimize" in the Learn More index), I managed to figure it out. The UiBinder tutorial is wrong and Sprite should read String. The String is the GWT-generated obfuscated name for a CSS class rule such as this: @sprite .userPictureSprite { gwt-image: "logo"; } This GWT stuff is really nice but there's quite a steep learning curve. The tutorials are good but could be improved. The StockWatcher tutorial is really detailed and hooks you in. Then you learn about this fairly new UiBinder and something about CssResource, ImageResource, ClientBundle, etc, etc. It can be easy for a newbie to get a bit lost at this stage.
