I am using GWT to create a widget that interacts with a remote server’s REST API, and it will live on a Google site.
I would like to grab a user’s name that they used to log on to Google Apps, and populate the name field with their name.
How might I go about doing this?
Thanks,

Here is the guide to using Google accounts for user authentication:
https://developers.google.com/accounts/
You get limited information about authenticated users, including their email address and whatever name they chose for their Google account.
If you host your app on Google App Engine, there is a special User service that makes authentication with Google accounts very simple.
