The more I think about it, the more limited the use cases for this toolkit, even for Eclipse/Java developers. A huge drawback is that the tolkit doesn't help with calling existing REST/SOAP interfaces from the generated clients - it's almost a walled garden (see http://web2.wsj2.com/googles_innovative_yet_limited_ajax_environment_gwt.htm) Yeah, I was going to post some examples of what the Java->Javascript compiler was producing…but…it was too big (and obfuscated) to make any sense on it’s own!
