In case you hadn't seen it...

> Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a Java software development framework that
> makes writing AJAX applications like Google Maps <http://maps.google.com/>and
> Gmail <../> easy for developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second
> language. Writing dynamic web applications today is a tedious and
> error-prone process; you spend 90% of your time working around subtle
> incompatabilities between web browsers and platforms, and JavaScript's lack
> of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing AJAX components difficult
> and fragile.
>
> GWT lets you avoid many of these headaches while offering your users the
> same dynamic, standards-compliant experience. You write your front end in
> the Java <http://java.sun.com/> programming language, and the GWT compiler
> converts your Java classes to browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML.

That's as much as I've read of this.  --Mitch
