Google Web Toolkit 2.0 with Speed Tracer now available

Google Web Toolkit 2.0 aims to make it easier for developers to build faster apps and to speed up the overall development cycle. Google Web Toolkit 2.0 has emerged with new tools in its toolkit and more features in its core SDK to meet the demands of today's web applications.

Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a development toolkit for building and optimizing complex browser-based applications. GWT is used by many products at Google, including Google Wave and Google AdWords. It's open source, completely free, and used by thousands of developers around the world.

Google Web Toolkit now offers a new tool called Speed Tracer, a performance profiler for Google Chrome that allows developers to see what's going on in a whole new way by enabling diagnosis of hidden problems. Developer-guided code splitting is another new feature that allows developers to split up their application into multiple pieces for much faster startup times. Users download only the JavaScript they need to get started while the rest can be loaded at a later time.
