GWT panel design best practices
I am a newbie in GWT, and also to Swing/SWT style interface building. I have worked with HTML for a long time, and I know how to build my UIs in that. However, I am having trouble translating this to GWT. What I am trying to make currently, is a simple UI with a table on the left with 4 columns, heading and a caption, and a panel on the right with an input and some dropdowns (filters for the list on the left). I have made this as a mockup in HTML, but I am having trouble translating this into GWT. Each row in the table should also have a select link for selecting an item in the table.

I know off [UiBinder][1], but seeing as there has been a page for it since december, and it's still not out, it doesn't seem like a viable option. I would love it if I could convert my HTML to some GWT code, but it seems like the stuff that exists in GWT is at a bit higher level of abstraction. It also seems hard to use DOM.createElement stuff combined with widgets, ie. creating my own custom panel.
