GWT

Java framework that compiles Java source code to JavaScript for building AJAX web applications that run in the browser.

GWT is a Java framework that compiles Java source code to JavaScript, so that browser applications are written in Java. The project’s own pages describe it as a way to develop AJAX applications across all major browsers. GWT modules are stored on a web server as a set of JavaScript and related files, so the compiled application is served as static files. The SDK is downloaded from the project site, and the GWT Open Source Project is named as its maintainer.
