In their own words

Google Web Toolkit

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a free, open-source Java framework for building AJAX web applications. Its compiler converts Java applications into JavaScript and HTML for browser use, and the SDK includes the core libraries and compiler. Deferred binding generates browser-specific code at compile time, while the compiler can create separate application versions for different browsers and languages. Applications can communicate asynchronously with servers through GWT RPC or JSON. An Eclipse plugin provides IDE support and an option to install the SDK. The developer guide covers deployment to Google App Engine, JUnit unit testing and Emma code coverage; documentation also includes SafeHtml guidance for XSS prevention and GWT RPC XSRF protection. GWT is licensed under Apache 2.0 for non-commercial, commercial and enterprise applications. Version 2.13.1 is listed for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Development mode and the compiler periodically send a timestamp ID and product version to Google; Google says it does not log cookies or personal information. The webAppCreator utility has been deprecated since version 2.11.0.
