GWT Designer now available for free!

In case you missed it, Google announced last week that the tools from the rcently acquired company Instantiations were now available for free!

This is a great news because it includes GWT Designer, the famous (and only so far) graphical designer for GWT… It’s the perfect complement to the Google plugin for Eclipse.

It’s official: GWT 2.0.0 (with SpeedTracer)

Finally, as anticipated Google set the “release” tag on GWT 2.0 and announced it at its Campfire One event yesterday. In addition to the well-known major new features (development mode, Code splitting, UiBinder, ResourceBundle), Google comes with a new tool named Speedtracer to measure the performance of Ajax applications inside the browser. SpeedTracer is only available for Chrome at the moment, unfortunately only on platforms where extensions are supported, ~~which means not on Mac currently~~ (actually it does work on Macs, see comments to this post)…

The online docs have been updated and are still IMHO a model of how online documentation for a project should be done: clear, concise, well structured, complete yet progressive, with examples… it’s almost fun to read. I wish every project had docs like this.

Download GWT, SpeedTracer or the Eclipse plugin

Bruce Johnson:

Good news! Google Web Toolkit 1.6 RC is ready for you to download and try out: (…) We expect this to be a short RC cycle, so a more comprehensive blog post with an overview of the features in GWT 1.6 should be just around the corner.
