Feeling the pressure

We've broken up the work as best we can (although 2 developers somehow both ended up recreating the properties component!). My first piece of work has been to create a simple login dialog. To get started I downloaded an eclipse version called europa, and that has been driving me insane. When time is a factor, any little problem builds up pressure, and there is something wrong with the package explorer and cvs plugin in europa.. sometimes things just don't seem to be showing up. (sorry, I have to tell someone about it).
Anyway, other than that everything went well, using GWT is far more like programming a desktop client than a web app; control is on the client, and server calls are made to pull data when needed. For instance, there doesn't seem to be a 'page' concept, instead you add and remove panels as needed.
