the popover plugin code in the Grocery List demo:

Couldn't you use JSNI or gwtquery for that? I guess making something like a component
for this is then going to be more of a mis direction.
Yes, you definitely can. What I couldn't figure out was a *nice* way of arranging
everything while still using the Bootstrap-provided jQuery plugin. It all became pleasant
to use again when I reimplemented the behaviour in plain GWT.
So far we've avoided getting into the "here's a set of widgets" game
because there are so many widgets for GWT already. I just brought this up because you were
suggesting to make some Bootstrap-specific widgets (the row/column/responsive table ones)
and I thought the Bootstrap jQuery widgets were a closely related idea. :)
