Re: Closing GWT application

This answer has what you are looking for:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8617055/how-to-run-javascript-function-from-gwt-java-with-jsni

Specifically in Java:

myButton.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler(){          public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {              closeWindow();
        };      });

public static native void closeWindow() /*-{    $wnd.closeWindow();  }-*/;

Then in JavaScript in your app's .html page:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">      function closeWindow() {
        window.open('','_self',''); 
                window.close();       }  </script>

Someone please correct me if this isn't the proper way to call JavaScript from Java within GWT. I haven't tested this, but from the documentation and a lot of various questions/answers, this appears to be the way to do it. Especially when not using UIBinder and doing everything through GWT Designer and/or normal Java editors as Nalini needs.

Here is how you do it on Chrome and IE:

<script type = "text/javascript">

   } 

</script> 

There is more discussion here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8301780/javascript-code-to-close-tab-that-works-in-ie-firefox-and-chrome

It explains that JavaScript can only close windows that were opened by JavaScript.
