GWT is a little different in that it didn't use HTML Canvas to render the UI, but rather the DOM.

- pklee 8y agoI believe the GWT was aimed at AWT rendered on the web and I am also not sure it was "compiling" it as much as it was translating it.
- javajosh 8y agoThe first statement is false. GWT defines it's own widgets, not AWT or Swing. The second statement is true - GWT is a transpiler. It would be very interesting if GWT could operate on bytecode but that's probably a very different project.
