dal blog ufficiale di Google Web Toolkit:
"Today is quite a milestone for Google Web Toolkit: with the GWT 1.3
Release Candidate, our team is very happy to announce that all of GWT
is open source under the Apache 2.0 license.
There's a lot to say, but let's start with our mission: it's "To
radically improve the web experience for users by enabling developers
to use existing Java tools to build no-compromise AJAX for any modern
browser." (I'd really encourage you to drop the red verbiage - kw)
Since our primary mission is to help users (as opposed to hoarding
proprietary development tools), opening up GWT has always been a
no-brainer -- we just had to decide when. Now that GWT has some
serious adoption and a lively user community, open-sourcing became the
obvious next step to help GWT evolve more quickly. And we're committed
to doing this the Right Way. All of our development will be done in
the open, and we're going to be working directly from the GWT project
on Google Code. We've created a charter document ("Making GWT Better")
that describes the philosophical foundations of GWT as well as the
nuts and bolts of compiling GWT yourself, submitting patches, and
participating in the new Google Web Toolkit Contributors group. We'll
be discussing the GWT roadmap and all technical decisions publicly,
we've republished the GWT web site documentation under a Creative
Commons license, and, while we're at it, we'll be publishing our team
meeting notes to the contributors group.
So, what's new in this 1.3 RC? Well, nothing, actually. The only thing
that has intentionally changed since GWT 1.2 is the open source thing.
However, since we did have to tweak a lot of source code and the GWT
build scripts to make it easy for anyone to compile, we want to be
conservative and call this a Release Candidate anyway. Once we hear
enough success stories with the 1.3 RC, we'll call it 1.3 Final then
get back to full-speed-ahead coding as we drive toward a nice big GWT
1.4. Meanwhile, what's done is done: GWT is an open source project!"
