The recently released Google Web Toolkit is a comprehensive set of APIs and tools that lets you create dynamic Web applications almost entirely in Java code. However, GWT is something of an all-or-nothing approach, targeted at a relatively small niche in Web application development market. This article shows you what GWT can do and will help you decide if its the best tool to use for your web development.

GWT is a comprehensive framework that provides a great deal of useful functionality. However, GWT is something of an all-or-nothing approach, targeted at a relatively small niche in Web application development market.
Well that's about the way I see it as well. Sure, GWT might be a powerfull and nifty tool - yet it fails to attract me.
It might be a hell of a lot more interesting if you could actually pop some code into existing sites and architectures without making it almost impossible to check for security flaws in your system. The "all-or-nothing approach" is hard to accept if you have a medium sized to big web site to manage and rely on. GWT just doesn't seem fit to do all of the job "on it's own".
