Google Web Toolkit
I haven’t blogged in a while, was waiting to getting around to revamping my web server… but I couldn’t resist blogging this:
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/
Basically, it’s a toolkit for writing applications in Java, which are then automagically converted into a Javascript/Html client making Ajax calls to a Java webapp.
So you can write a gui webapp, all in Java. Sweet!
My only concern is the license – it’s all “free” as in Beer, but Google reserve the right to take their code away if they want to, as I read it. Your code, and (presumably) your generated code, you can keep. But their code is proprietary, unless you can negotiate a better license.
