As my gwt wrapper for esri's js api gwt-esri becomes more and more stable (a relative term), I have added a lot of functionality to what was 'the example project'. This project has itself grown in complexity and functionality. I have thus dubbed it gwt-gis and created it's own google code project (my second!) for the src to live. Please check it out. Feedback is always welcome. I'll try and release a jar soon, though as w/ gwt-esri, living off the trunk is recommended.
Also, always looking for gwt/jsni folks to help out with the gwt-esri library as many of it's components are wrapped but only have (sometimes very) limited testing.
PS. RIP Mr. Jobs.
