Thanks everyone for participating! The contest is now over and emails have been sent to the winners. Once all the winners have claimed their prizes, I will announce them in a new post.

Just a quick reminder to you all, but there is only one day left to collect more entries to our Biggest Ever GWT Giveaway Contest. You have a great chance to win some cool prizes like a free developer license of Ext GWT ($289 value), a year subscription of GWT Designer ($59 value), or a print copy of one of the latest GWT books. The contest ends tomorrow, September 30th at 11:59 PM PST.

I’ve looked at some of the entries so far, and people have been using GWT to create some really great web applications. I’m going to be highlighting some of my favorites in future posts, so this is a chance to get some free publicity for any GWT related projects you are working on. There will be 16 winners picked, so don’t miss out!

Just saw on the ExtJS blog this morning that the new version of Ext GWT has been released. One of the new features is the new Grid component which now supports the same features as the Ext JS Grid, and supports plugins for adding additional functionality, grouping and an EditableGrid for inline editing. The new Portal container allows you to create your own iGoogle type personalized homepage and Web Desktop enables you to create your own multi-window applications. There’s even a new theme called Slate that looks very slick.

Take a look at the new Ext GWT Samples application to see examples of all the different components that Ext GWT has to offer. Ext GWT is released under a dual licensed model (GPL v3 and Commercial). If you’re interested in using it for any commercial projects, check out our Biggest Ever GWT Giveaway Contest. Thanks to the guys at ExtJS, you could get a chance to win one of 5 developer licenses of Ext GWT for absolutely free.
