What the toolkit does is allow you to use Eclipse as an AJAX programming tool – in all honesty, you don’t even have to know anything about AJAX. All you need to know is how to code a Java application with Swing elements, then apply that knowledge to code a web application in an amazingly smooth transition. The toolkit will take all your code and compile it into functional HTML and Javascript with all the bells and whistles you would expect, along with the ability to provide your very own CSS files.

At the very least, this thing makes the creation of a web application much easier and much faster, even for the inexperienced web developer who only has Java programming knowledge. Google also says you won’t have to worry too much about working around the quirks of individual browsers, but it will take some rigorous testing before I come to believe that.

If you are a web developer, I suggest you check this out, you will not regret it.
