GWT Metawidget takes a walk on the client side

The latest release of Metawidget upgrades our GWT support to 1.7 and includes a new example of running pure client-side GWT:

By default, GwtMetawidget inspects business objects server-side. This is because client-side JavaScript does not support reflections or annotations.

However if you don't need reflections or annotations, and have your own way of retrieving inspection results, you can plug in your own Inspector and keep everything client-side. This example retrieves inspection results from a textarea and generates the UI.

Download the example here. More documentation can be found here.
