Before you start using Google WTP i strongly sugest that you read this post by Jevgeni Kabanov. Do also check out the alternative projets the post refers to! There are lots of alternatives out there:)
Opinion: Will Google Web Toolkit Matter?

I’ve listed some of the projects here if you don’t bother to read the post(but you should):

• Java2Script:
  Converts java to java-script (Has plugin for eclipse and uses Eclipse SWT libraries for the graphical elements)
• DoJo:
  Provides a JavaScript Widget toolkit
• Echo2:
  “a platform for developing web-based applications that approach the capabilities of rich clients”
• DWR:
  “DWR is easy AJAX for Java.”

Considering using Joda Time on a project. There’s a good writeup with details of it here.

I worked on J2ME a couple of years back, and it was pretty immature. It still hasn’t taken off, and a lot of the reason is the many “optional” APIs that manufacturers could support. If you did an app that were really useful it wasn’t likely that there were many phonemodels out there that had just the combination of APIs you needed. Hopefully that will change with the introduction of MSA. It is a potentially hughe market, something has just been holding adoption back.
