Google Web Toolkit

Joseph Sinclair from the Phoenix Google office demo'd GTW (rhymes with 'Whit') at the Austin Java User's Group. He said the Austin Google office was one week old and they would be hiring soon. Sidney, ad recruiter was on hand to answer employment type questions.
GWT compiles real java code into JavaScript that will run crossbrowser applications. GWT obsficates the code and reduces the download by 5 to 10 times. GWT uses the Visitor and Decorator patterns extensively.
GWT is tested by Selenium and fitnesse.
