I am writing a tutorial for people who are trying to have a page structure in their GWT application and want to use history to navigate. 

To illustrate, let’s create a simple program with a tab panel and a label.

There is an outdated archetype which creates a very simple Gwt project without tests nor RPCs. Unfortunately the generated pom.xml is for old gwt versions and needs that you do a bunch of changes by hand.   mvn archetype:generate  -DarchetypeGroupId=org.codehaus.mojo \    -DarchetypeArtifactId=gwt-maven-plugin  -DarchetypeVersion=1.1 \    -DgroupId=com.foo  -DartifactId=myApplication - Lately I have sent a patch to gwt which adds the ability to generate pom.xm to webAppCreator. But the patch is under review and it wont be available until a new gwt version (in the case it is included). http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/397801/show - So, I recommend you to get the pom.xml from a working application and use it as a template for your project. Some days ago, I  ported the google contacts example application in order to use available libraries for MVP and add tests for all the code. I think It should be a good point for starting your project: http://gwt-workshop.googlecode.com/files/GwtWsMvpContacts.zip

event dispatching and handling has become much easier with Handlers. You can invent your own Event types, and use them in the same way as all the other Handlers.

When the value of any TextBox changes I want to do something with the value but i need to know the row number of the changed TextBox

You maybe want the Grid to rather extend Composite and fire the onValueChange() events, that way you only need one ChangeHandler listening on all the TextBox’s (rather than one Handler per TextBox).
