GAE + GWT + Restlet -- Which edition of Restlet should I use?

Question

I'm in the process of writing a GWT based app that will talk to a Restlet-based API hosted on GAE. I think I need to keep all of this in a single Eclipse project and a single hosted GAE app to make things work well and not have issues with single point of origin (cross-site scripting).

So... which version of restlet should I use? I need the GAE version to get my API working on GAE, but I need the GWT version to get my UI to compile with GWT. I must be missing something really basic here, as this is the basis of the Restlet "getting started" example app.

Am I supposed to be splitting things into multiple projects?

I've been working on their Getting Started tutorial as well, and it's no walk in the park. However, I can at least answer your immediate question: you need both editions. All of the libraries in the /war/WEB-INF/lib directory come from the GAE edition and will be deployed with the server. However, you also need org.restlet.jar from the GWT edition in your /lib directory. It's only used for compiling the GWT stuff, so it does not need to be in the /war directory, no matter what Eclipse tells you.
