Hi everyone I would like to create a search application connected to a RDF/OWL database on Eclipse. I would like to use the Google Widget Toolkit plugin for the front end and the Protege plugin for the database side. Do I need some other "essential" tool for creating this application? Thanks in advance

In additional to GWT i can recommend you Vaadin, for actually searching Lucene can be useful. And of course look at Spring Framework and Groovy for rapid development.
Give us more information about what you supposed to create?

Well, it's pretty much simple: I need to create browser-based application that is connected to a relational database integrated with RDF and OWL. As I know Java and I ussually use Eclipse, I thought the GWT+Protege approach would have been the most feasible.

If you come from java GWT will feel instantly familiar. For the front end It abstracts away most of the quirks of java script development. In your case I would concentrate on the RPC asynchronous way and how will you transport data to the front end / serialization deserialization. GWT offers many different approaches you need to find out which solves your problem best.
