Starting today, there is a simpler way to use the JavaTM language to develop and deploy world-scalable web applications. We are very happy to announce today:
What does this mean for you? It is easier than ever to create sophisticated web applications entirely in the Java language with Google Web Toolkit while working productively in Eclipse. And the moment you're finished, with only a few button clicks you can upload and publish your application to the world on App Engine.
In GWT 1.6, we've tried to make common tasks simpler while making it possible to do even more advanced things. If you're brand new to GWT, some of this is going to sound like gibberish, so you'll also want to take a look at the Product Overview as a gentler introduction.
As usual, there are many more improvements than we can list above. The issue tracker has the full list of changes. We hope that these new features in GWT 1.6 will seem like only the beginning, though, as you start to using GWT alongside the new Google Plugin for Eclipse and deploying your code on App Engine. There's lots more to come on how these technologies work together to help you do cool new stuff faster.
Last but not least, the GWT team will be at Google I/O on May 27-28, giving in-depth sessions on GWT and eager to hear your feedback on these new features. We hope you'll join us.
