If you install the full version of GWT Designer, it is available in the Eclipse Help.

It is also available on-line here...

Thank you Eric.

The user's guide is more on explaining each features and it only have 2 example tutorials. Does it have more examples to learn?

Like traditional languages, VB, Delphi, etc, the IDE is very easy to do drag and drop and very fast to generate a prototype, whereas GWT needs a thorough understanding on how one component connect to another. We cannot simply drag and drop on the canvas. It makes me struggling to create a prototype in my company project now.

Thank you.

I think we have a slight disconnect here. The GWT Designer docs are intended solely to teach a GWT user how to use GWT Designer to more quickly create their GWT UIs. The GWT Designer docs are intentionally not designed to replace the GWT docs themselves. If you are looking for info on GWT itself, then you should start with the GWT docs and tutorials here...

Once you have learned GWT itself, you should find the GWT Designer docs to be quite helpful in explaining what can be done with the tool itself.
