This tutorial introduces you to GWT. You can do develop GWT apps without any IDE, but it is really helpful if you use one. I choose Eclipse with Cypal Studio for GWT (which was earlier known as Googlipse) to walk thru this tutorial.

Requirements:

• You need the latest GWT. You can download it at here. Make sure you download the latest version.
• Download and install Eclipse 3.4 with WTP 2.0. You can get it here.
• You need a Java 1.5 VM to run Eclipse. You can get it here.
• Download Cypal Studio for GWT from here and extract it to your eclipse directory.
