That's because they don't use Places, so they don't NEED a colon. GWT is a set of tools (hence toolkit) that work well together, but each has its purpose, and should IMO be learned separately before being used together. BTW, when using Places, you can do better with a widget that calls

My biggest question is where do I find better documentation, because the documentation provided at gwtproject.org is incomplete and inconsistent. It may seem sufficient to someone who already knows GWT, but trust me, it doesn't provide a good introduction. That is sad to hear :( For

For more control of the PlaceHistoryMapper, you can use the @Prefix annotation on a PlaceTokenizer to change the first part of the URL associated with the Place. For even more control, you can instead implement PlaceHistoryMapperWithFactory and provide a TokenizerFactory that, in turn,
