GLayer() equivalent on GWT Google Maps 1.0 Library

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Found in Release: GWT Google Maps 1.0 Library 

Detailed description:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/overlays.html#Layers
shows the following sample javascript code;

function initialize() {
  if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
    var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
    map.setCenter(new GLatLng(40.730885,-73.997383), 15);
    var myLayer = new GLayer("org.wikipedia.en");
    map.addOverlay(myLayer);
  }

}

I can not find the equivalent of GLayer() class on gwt-maps-1.0.4/gwt-
maps-1.0.4/doc/javadoc/index-all.html. 

Workaround if you have one:
Eric suggested the following but I have not tried it yet
-- 

A workaround is to create the GLayer instance in JSNI and use
ConcreteOverlay to wrap it.

private static native JavaScriptOjbect createLayer(String name) /*-{
  return new GLayer(name);

}-*/;

Overlay layer = new ConcreteOverlay(createLayer("org.wikipedia.en"));
map.addOverlay(layer);

-Eric.

This patch implements GLayer support and adds a demo to the "Maps Overlay" 
section of HelloMaps sample.

If you want to patch this in to your app, you can probably get by with just 
adding the Layer.java file to your project.
