Re: I need java.util.Collections synchronized classes.

As I said in my first post, I see why GWT doesn't need a synchronized sorted set.  I don't need one either, I just need my Java code (that will be compiled to GWT) to reference other Java code that references a synchronized sorted set.

You can copy paste the existing Collections.java from the GWT tree to your source tree in the same package path and add your own method there. The GWT compiler will super source your file meaning that it will have precedence over the GWT supplied file.

However I am not actually suggesting this for your case. The reason is the following. In normal circumstances GWT code is plain javascript and it executed in a single thread therefore the synchronized variant of a collection makes non sense. Recent advances in WWW standards include something called web workers which is basically javascript threads. I haven't used them or study them in detail to commend but my gut feeling and past experience says that their semantics will not map to java thread semantics.

Yes, I saw that documentation.  It seems to assume a lot of GWT knowledge.  I doubt we can provide our own Collections implementation just to fill in one static method.  Does anyone know a more reasonable workaround?

I believe super-source is what you need. Have you seen the documentation "Overriding one package implementation with another" at http://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/DevGuideOrganizingProjects.html#DevGuideModuleXml
