Robert Hanson has released the next version of his GWT Widget Library. New features include:

• Major package reorganization
• WHyperlink – Added getHref()
• New Classes
• • WTextBox (John Menke)
  • OptionList (Jack Tang)
  • FormPanel
  • FileUploadField
  • SearchUtils

Very cool! I’m going to start playing around with it tonight.

There seems to be a lot of interest in the Google Web Toolkit and slowly a lot of publically available code is becoming available. I just wanted to highlight some of the projects and other user contributions that were announced this week (mostly from the discussion forum).

• Basic RSS reader with GWT – Demo + source available.
• Project Dune – Open source project built using GWT. Supposedly contains quite a few components.
• GWT Pulldown menu – Demo of GWT menubar. Source.
• GWT Hangman
• Progress Bar widget – Demo + source.
• – Thread on the GWT discussion forum containing source.

I’ve just put up a demo which shows how to use GWT’s JSON support to communicate with the server. The server in this case is written in php and just exercises the Google Web API.  I’ll have the source up in a bit.
