Google Web Toolkit
Do you like all-in-one solutions? Why do I ask? Because Google Web Toolkit is one of them. Other frameworks may do a better job with individual pieces, but GWT is unusual in bringing together everything you need to build rich Internet applications on the Java platform.
The idea behind Google Web Toolkit, or GWT, is simple. Give developers a framework that makes it easy to build a web application from reusable UI components rendered as HTML, browser-side logic in JavaScript, and asynchronous AJAX calls to server-side logic. You do all of this on the Java platform using its language, libraries and development tools.
Interval.cz published my article on Google Web Toolkit, and you've just read the opening. If GWT interests you, read on and share your experience with the framework in the comments.
