Download Google Web Toolkit (GWT)
Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a Java software development framework that
makes writing AJAX applications like Google Maps and Gmail easy for
developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second language. Writing
dynamic web applications today is a tedious and error-prone process; you
spend 90% of your time working around subtle incompatabilities between web
browsers and platforms, and JavaScript's lack of modularity makes sharing,

sometimes be many times larger than the applications themselves. AppZapper
helps clean up these leftover files, files that 99% of Mac users don't even
