Google upgrades Web toolkit for browser apps

From InfoWorld: Google on Tuesday evening released Google Web Toolkit (GWT) 2.0 for building browser-based applications, offering enhancements for performance profiling and incremental downloading as well as a declarative UI framework.

Version 2.0 of the open source development toolkit is built to accommodate recent improvements in browser speed and capabilities for larger, richer Web applications, Google said. The toolkit is available for download.

"We use Google Web Toolkit for all our Java-based internal apps", said Ben Fried, Google chief information officer, in a statement released by the company. "It's a great tool for enterprise-class Java GUI development and we build our most sensitive and critical corporate systems with it. In addition to the big benefits in developer productivity, GWT offers, the future-proofing and browser independence you get out of the box mean that we're protected from the problems caused by browser-specific bugs and exploits."
