The Google API Libraries for Google Web Toolkit is a collection of libraries that provide Java language bindings for popular Google JavaScript APIs. These libraries make it quick and easy for developers to use Google JavaScript APIs with GWT.
Gadgets are simple HTML and JavaScript applications that can be embedded in webpages and other apps. This library simplifies gadget development with GWT by automatically generating a Gadget Specification from Java source, inserting a selection script in the specification much like a regular GWT project. After compiling your gadget with GWT, all files are in place to publish your gadget.
The Gears library provides support for the Gears APIs, including LocalServer, Database, WorkerPool, and integrated support for offline applications.
The Google AJAX Search API lets you put Google Search in your web pages, including Web, Local, and Multimedia searches. This library allows you to access the JavaScript API from Java code compiled with the GWT compiler.
The Google Maps API library provides a way to access the Google Maps API from a GWT project without having to write additional JavaScript code. The library gives you full control using the standard Maps components such as InfoWindows, Markers, MapTypes, and Geocoding. You can even use advanced features such as adding GWT widgets to the Map, creating custom overlays, custom map types, and other components.
The Google Visualization API library enables you to expose your own data, stored on any data-store that is connected to the web, as a Visualization compliant datasource. Some of the visualizations supported by this release candidate library include the Google Piechart, Google Annotated Timeline and Google GeoMap. For a full list of visualizations with GWT wrappers you can refer to the Google Visualization Gallery.
