Writing dynamic Web applications today is a tedious and error-prone process.

Developers spends most of their time working around subtle incompatibilities between Web browsers and various platforms, while JavaScript's lack of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing AJAX components difficult and annoying.

The Google Web Toolkit, or simply GWT, lets the developer use standards compliant tools for writing Web apps, tools tested and used by Google's own team when building famous tools like Gmail or Google Maps.

When it comes to the actual process, GWT lets developers write the frontend in Java code, and when done it compiles it to standards and browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML source code.

Because Java is a much more malleable programming language, developers spend less time, write less code but achieve a higher degree of complexity with their applications.

What is new in this release:

  • Super Dev Mode is now the default. DevMode automatically starts Super Dev Mode and reloading a web page automatically runs the compiler when necessary. (The -noSuperDevMode flag may be used to revert to the old behavior.)
  • Compiling in Super Dev Mode is much faster after the first compile.
  • Experimental support for GSS, also known as Closure Stylesheets.

What is new in version 2.7.0:

  • Super Dev Mode is now the default. DevMode automatically starts Super Dev Mode and reloading a web page automatically runs the compiler when necessary. (The -noSuperDevMode flag may be used to revert to the old behavior.)
  • Compiling in Super Dev Mode is much faster after the first compile.
  • Experimental support for GSS, also known as Closure Stylesheets.

What is new in version 2.5.0:

  • The GWT team recently learned that the Security vulnerability discovered in the 2.4 Beta and Release Candidate releases was only partially fixed in the 2.4 GA release.
  • This release also includes some minor bug fixes found in the release candidate.

What is new in version 2.4.0:

  • General Enhancements:
  • App Engine tools for Android: Build installable Android apps that rely on App Engine for server-side support.
  • Incremental RPC Tooling: Add server-side methods to App Engine code and GPE will generate the necessary serialization and Android code on the fly.
  • Apps Marketplace Support: Deploy apps to the Google Apps Marketplace as easily as to App Engine.
  • UI Designer: Faster startup and editing times, split-mode editing support for UiBinder, simplified CSS property editing, UiBinder morphing, IsWidget support, and more.
  • Persistent Unit Cache: GWT Compiler and Development mode now cache compilation artifacts between runs. This results in faster startup time for iterative development.
  • Scrolling DataGrid (#188): The new DataGrid widget supports vertical scrolling with a fixed header (above) and footer (below).
  • Design Time Support (#226): The Beans.isDesignTime() method was added to the GWT emulation library in order to better isolate runtime-only code when a UI is edited in the UI Designer.
  • Noteworthy Fixed Issues:
  • Polymorphism not supported by RequestFactory.
  • Support RequestFactory service inheritance on the client.
  • ListEditor subeditors' value is not flushed when used with a RequestFactoryEditorDriver.
  • Memory-leak in pure-Java's c.g.g.core.client.impl.WeakMapping.
  • GWT compiler dropping clinits.
  • Make RequestFactory type tokens more compact.
  • Editor framework does not support is / has methods.

What is new in version 2.3.0:

  • General Enhancments:
  • Added IE9 support. See the IE9 - Tips and Tricks doc for more information.
