Enterprise Usage
GWT is widely used in the Enterprise space due to its leveraging of common enterprise technologies including Java, Apache Tomcat (or similar web container), Eclipse IDE, Internet Explorer, and Internationalization and Localization. Java-based GWT RIA's are easier to test using the existing JUnit testing framework and code coverage tools, compared to large applications written in Javascript. Because GWT allows compile time verification of images, CSS, and business logic, many common development defects are automatically discovered without need of the manual testing commonly required by RIA's.
While often used in non-advertised internal applications, Google has noted that two of its products are GWT based:
- Orkut
- Blogger
Other companies using GWT are listed on the GWT Reference List.

Famous quotes containing the words enterprise and/or usage:
“Everything that explains the world has in fact explained a world that does not exist, a world in which men are at the center of the human enterprise and women are at the margin “helping” them. Such a world does not exist—never has.”
—Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)
“I am using it [the word ‘perceive’] here in such a way that to say of an object that it is perceived does not entail saying that it exists in any sense at all. And this is a perfectly correct and familiar usage of the word.”
—A.J. (Alfred Jules)
