  • Runtime Library Support
• Cross-browser Support
  The architecture of GWT makes it easy to support multiple browsers with a single code base.
• Debugging in Hosted Mode
  An embedded DHTML browser lets you run and debug applications directly in any Java development environment before being translated into JavaScript.
• Deployment in Web Mode
  Compile your application into JavaScript for easy deployment.
• HTML Host Pages
  A host page is an HTML document that includes a GWT module.
• Client-side Code
  "Client-side" refers to source code that is intended to be translated and run in a web browser as JavaScript.
• Server-side Code
