Why this page is merged with Google Code? I tried to add more information, but is removed...

Because it is part of the Google Code platform. Because of the individual minor articles for each Code service, it is much more efficient to mention them in a unifying article. --Mambo Jambo 00:54, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
I moved this page back from Google code to here, instead of a redirect. I would make some changes to the page on Google code to for this. GWT surely deserves an entry on its own. It is a pretty large project of Google Code. Shabda 12:03, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Any objections to adding this page to category:JavaScript libraries?--81.106.184.50 23:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Done. --81.106.184.50 20:44, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The CRITICISM section needs to be rewritten in English

"...This model will in most scenarios create much larger JavaScript and HTML than what is possible to achieve with solutions where the JavaScript Widgets handcoded from before and is thought of rather as an API than as a "compiler result". ...."

-> "compiler result" is a general term with no special public meaning. There is no need to quote it any more than any other two words in the language.

-> This sentence has at least one if not two instances of a run on sentence. Its hard to tell if anything is being said. What is "...thought of rather as an API than as a 'compiler result' supposed to mean?" What is "...handcoded from before..." referring to? Is this some project the author was working on? At the very least, it should be reworked into multiple sentences.

"...An alternative way of creating an Ajax framework with "no-JavaScript pain capability" is to think of the browser as a purely rendering mechanism for predefined widgets and send messages from the server to those widgets and vice versa, see ZK_Framework."

-> "no-JavaScript pain capability..." Is "no-JavaScript" a new scripting language? What is "pain capability?" Why not quote "purely rendering mecanism?" Its just another fabricated term. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bfisk (talkcontribs)

Agreed. I've tagged the section. utcursch | talk 04:07, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The criticism section is incorrect

The initial statement in the criticism section ("GWT compiles JavaScript and HTML from Java bytecode.") is simply not true.

http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/documentation/com.google.gwt.doc.DeveloperGuide.Fundamentals.html#JavaToJavaScriptCompiler

Given that the remainder of the criticism is based on this misinformation, it seems like the whole section should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.192.134.33 (talk) 17:50, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
