[ajug-members] GWT and existing HTML

[Mark McCall]

Marty,

I have been working with GWT for the past couple of months building an app
from the ground up. so I have not tried what you are attempting.  However, a
quick search of the GWT Gooogle Group did yield something...

http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit/browse_thread/thread/7afc8c738191bd32/f6e64fbd9672041e

It does not look trivial, but may point you in the right direction.

Good Luck,
Mark McCall
