Quite sometime back, Khadaa commented that Dan’s HTMLEditor would be a good plugin to have as part of the GWT-Ext-UX project. I have just committed the GWT-Ext wrapper code. The wrapper code is quite small but I was stuck with some nasty bugs which took some time to squish. And I learnt a couple of things in the process.
Logs say that quite a number of readers arrived here searching for GWT-Ext HtmlEditor. Check out from SVN to start using the widget right away. Only the styles plugin is in. Undo/redo and images plugins are pending. Will try to work on them soon. If you want to add them to the project yourself, go right ahead.

Just fell in love with this one moments ago! I had installed its Firefox extension version “just like that” while browsing the Mozilla addons site. Half an hour back, Preshit sent me a Flickr link. I happened to click the run image on one of the photos and PicLens fired up as I watched. It jumped out of Firefox, took the entire screen and transformed the dull 2D view to a fullscreen 3D view. It made viewing the pics lot more easy and pleasurable. And I decided I like it.
Edit: PicLens is now Cooliris. See the comments.
This one has been receiving quite some attention lately and I see why. Its a very simple and effective diagramming tool. Lets you create diagrams and UI prototypes in a jiffy. After having to switch tools when I switch OSes (and I do that once in a while to get a different experience), this one is a must-have extension for my fox. The stock stencils that come with it are good enough. And, I am eagerly waiting for more stencils to become available.
Gwt-Ext forum threads have quite a lot of solutions contributed by users. But the forum search is a real pain and I have to struggle a lot for finding what I am looking for.
Use this *very helpful* Google custom search for searching the forums and most likely you will find your question already answered: http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=014252995673596707595%3Ao37mulitp-e.
I wonder why I didn’t think of this before seeing Sanjiv’s post!
