Installing Google Web Toolkit

1. Install the Java SDK.
   If you don't have a recent version of the Java SDK installed, download and install Sun Java Standard Edition SDK.
2. Download Google Web Toolkit.
   Download the Google Web Toolkit package for your operating system.
3. Unzip the Google Web Toolkit package.
   On Windows, extract the files from gwt-windows-1.4.61.zip with a program like WinZip. On Mac and Linux, you can unpack the package with a command like

   tar xvzf gwt-mac-1.4.61.tar.gz

4. Done! Start using Google Web Toolkit.
   GWT doesn't have an installer application. All the files you need to run and use GWT are located in the extracted directory. The main application you'll need to use GWT is applicationCreator, which is described below. It may be easiest to start out by building one of the sample applications shipped with GWT.
