You must already know GWT if you learn Java2Script by “Java to JavaScript compiler”.
I seldom mentioned GWT in “Java2Script” topics in the past, except an article “GWT v.s. Java2Script SWT” in early days when GWT was announced.
But late these days, I think if I compare more details between GWT and Java2Script, it may help new developers to get further understanding of both GWT and Java2Script.
Here is a list of similarities for GWT and Java2Script:
- Java to JavaScript compiler
- Widget components (GWT v.s. SWT)
- Support RPC (GWT’s RPC v.s. Java2Script’s Simple RPC)
- Support Eclipse
I think later I will discuss more details (similarities and differences, advantages and disadvantages) on the above list.
