Hi everybody,

Jerome suggested yesterday that we could handle the upgrade as follows:
- use MyGWT widgets library for the web-gwt functionalities (modal dialog
boxes) since it is a pure java library and its usage only involves changes
in the web-gwt code
- if needed, gwt-ext could be used for particular projects using web-gwt
api and each project's code could be changed accordingly (this would be
the case for watch).

Both libraries seem pretty reliable, with active developers and nice
community, so, from this point of view, they are both superior to gwttk
that we currently use.

Here's my +1 for this approach.

WDYT?
