The Google Web Toolkit has been out for a while now, and yet there is still basic functionality that is missing from the toolkit. Don’t get me started on the lack of draggable/resizable columns for the FlexTable, because that’s a rant and a half. Given that GWT’s event handling model isn’t bad, you’d think they’d have included from the get-go the ability to handle right-clicks and bringing up a context menu or popup menu. Well, even with 1.6 on the doorstep it seems they forgot again or just don’t care. Now some people will spout out “web apps don’t need or shouldn’t have right-clicks handled or context menus overridden”……and for those I say STFU! Web apps are used for more than just banking, news, forums and dare I say blogs. The browser is becoming the new medium for running applications and just because an application is running in a browser doesn’t mean we should limit functionality. That’s about as narrow minded as saying that we’ve only had one mouse button for this long, why add a second one? Duh!
Anyway, enough with the blabbing. I’ve put together a simple example to add a right click context menu and override the default browser context menu using GWT.

Not just another android port scan app. Net Scan strives to be the fastest one out there. On top of just scanning ports, Net Scan also utilizes network discovery to scan an entire network for IP aware devices (fancy for computers, routers, smartphones, printers, scanners, gaming consoles, or whatever). Once a list of devices is found, they can be clicked on to run a port scan.
