I have a case, generate an instance dynamically ie, i have map like 

Map<String,Class> classMap=new HashMap<String,Class>();
classMap.put("key1",Panel.Class);
classMap.put("key2",Panel1.Class);
classMap.put("key3",Panel2.Class);
Class clazz=map.get("key");
GWT.create(clazz);

when i compile using GWT Compile i got the exception

Compile with -strict or with -logLevel set to TRACE or DEBUG to see all errors.
   [ERROR] Errors in 'com/asklepian/web/Sample/sample.java'
      [ERROR] Line 19: Only class literals may be used as arguments to GWT.create()

is there is any better way to achieve the same.Thanks in advance

    There is no reflection in GWT. You can only pass things to GWT.create() that are statically compiled into the call. – Deanna May 19 '13 at 21:26

Retrieving class objects is done by adding lowercase ".class" to the classname.
So maybe change your map to
classMap.put("key1",Panel.class);
classMap.put("key2",Panel1.class);
classMap.put("key3",Panel2.class);
and try to recompile with that.
