title: Google Web Toolkit Sample Applications
body: <p>I have googled some time now trying to find a good sample application that is written with the Google Web Toolkit (preferably with Eclipse). I'm looking for a full web application with a database and stuff like the following program on codeplex which is written in ASP.NET and has a login system:

  <p>I found some other sites but they do not contain the exact details that I need:</p>

  <p><a href="http://code.google.com/intl/nl/webtoolkit/examples/" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/intl/nl/webtoolkit/examples/</a></p>
  
  <p>I want to learn GWT because I think it has some great advantages.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Generate (good and cross-browser compatible (>IE6, >FF~2.0, >chrome1)) JavaScript at the server-side for the client that will save CPU cycles on the server</li>
  <li>Use Java at the server (instead of C# with ASP.NET) which is free to use and deploy, and is a good OO language</li>
  <li>Program and test in other OS's than windows (LAMP server, free :) )</li>
  <li>Out of the box HTML5 support which can be used as a replacement for flash/silverlight animations to save bandwidth</li>
  <li>Eclipse has a visual designer plugin (GPE) where you can put widgets on and works like WPF/Silverlight where I have already some experience with</li>
  <li>The widgets are great and I expect them to work like the WPF/Silverlight equivalents (stackpanels, grids etcetera)</li>
  <li>Google uses it (so it must be great :P )</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Some disadvantages in my opinion:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>No good support for VS2010 (super IDE of course)</li>
  <li>Not as many users as ASP.NET or PHP (?) so less good code examples to find</li>
  <li>Not many I think? Maybe some little debug difficulties because of the generated JavaScript</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Please criticize this as much as possible ;)</p>
