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:
“By what a delicate and far-stretched contribution every island is made! What an enterprise of nature thus to lay the foundations of and to build up the future continent, of golden and silver sands and the ruins of forests, with ant-like industry.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Pythagoras, Locke, Socrates—but pages
Might be filled up, as vainly as before,
With the sad usage of all sorts of sages,
Who in his life-time, each was deemed a bore!
The loftiest minds outrun their tardy ages.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
