This is just a quick tutorial, or rather a series of simple steps one must take to convert a GWT project created using Eclipse and the GWT Software Development Kit, and transform it into a Dashboard widget that can be embedded into an iBook.

You will need Eclipse and the complete GWT package installed on your machine first. The steps illustrated in this tutorial were performed on Mac OSX.
Everything needed to get GWT installed and running is fully explained in this page: https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/gettingstarted.
