I suggest looking at the EXT-GWT library for what is possible. I'm using it in a project where its GPLness doesn't matter.

It depends on your needs.

If you don't want to modify the widget appearances or behaviors, Ext-GWT is nice.

If you aren't building a large web-app, Ext-GWT is the way to go.

But if you're one of them people who prefer to do TDD, or unit-test etc, avoid Ext-GWT at all cost.

If you want to personalize your app, avoid Ext-GWT at all cost.

If you want a solid (library) Java code, avoid Ext-GWT at all cost.

I've been using their code since MyGWT 0.4 and right now we're trying to get rid of it so bad.

I was also using it since mygwt. But they did a "bait and switch" when they moved to ext; I lost months of work.
