Google Web Toolkit (GWT) makes it easier to write high-performance Web applications. You write the front-end in Java and GWT compiles your source into highly optimized, dynamic JavaScript and Ajax components.
GWT Designer™ is an Eclipse-based GUI builder that enables the Java developer to quickly create Ajax web applications using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). It can be purchased as part of the award-winning WindowBuilder Pro product family, or as a stand-alone product.

Supports GWT 2.0 & 1.6, 1.5 and Java 1.5, and backward compatible to GWT 1.4.62.
