Guava is the main piece I think about. GWT? Guice? What else?

Hardly setting fire to the world. Really nothing by comparison to what FOSS has accomplished without them.

Angular? Repo? Popular web browser that does not suck? Being a force behind new HTML5 APIs?

Popular web browser that doesn't suck was already taken care of. HTML5 Apis are a collaborative effort. Angular is a novel entrant that is one among hundreds.

I'm not trying to suggest that Google isn't contributing positively to the dev community, but I strongly dispute the idea that they have enriched it in any way proportionally to the way they've profited from it.
