• New GWT Theme: Pinky?

• GWT Reflection
  A new project which allows you to use the reflection API in your GWT applications.

Gwittir is a library for GWT that includes many cool utilities, like databinding, animation, reflection, and more. Like many GWT projects over the past couple of weeks, Gwittir 0.4.4 has now been updated to support the latest GWT 1.5 release. However, there are some other interesting goodies as well. The big thing that caught my eye was the new Joda Time integration. If you have ever been frustrated by GWT’s lack of java.util.Calendar support, you’ll love this, as it makes it easy to do date manipulations in your applications. Also in this release is a new ContextMenuPanel, for right-click context menus and a new Reflection system that takes advantage of the method inlining features of the GWT 1.5 compiler.

If you’re interested in learning more about Gwittir, you can also check out the article I wrote on Gwittir Databinding.
