"GWT is a preeminent framework that enables Java developers to write high-performance AJAX applications. Google has made some major enhancements to 1.5 that validate their commitment to the product and allow us to make GWT Designer that much better," said Eric Clayberg, senior vice president of product development and co-founder of Instantiations, Inc. "We don't just keep tabs on Google's GWT updates, but we're always listening to our customers and they are letting us know which third-party widget-kits we should support. I believe our responsiveness has significantly strengthened the product and is the reason for GWT Designer's continued popularity."
