[PJUG Javamail] GWT or "Google Web Toolkit"

[Rob Tanner]

Sorry for replying so late.  I have no Swing experience at all and the
transition to GWT was easy.  I'd recommend if you use Eclipse to get the GWT
plug-in.  It will make life easier.  For me, the hardest part was
understanding how the asynchronous callbacks work since that's also
something that I have no previous experience with.  But once I got that
figured out and got through my "stupid" moments I was on a roll.

My point is, no previous experience necessary (other than knowing Java, of
course).
