Instantiations later this month will unveil GWT Designer 1.0, which the company describes as a comprehensive tool for building AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) Web applications using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT)

GWT is a Java development framework intended to make it easy to develop AJAX applications. GWT Designer is built on WindowBuilder Pro, Instantiations’s Eclipse tool for building Java GUI applications for Windows, Linux, Macintosh and other platforms. With GWT Designer, Instantiations is providing a WYSIWIG GUI construction environment. Developers drag and drop composites, layouts and controls when building a user interface.

With the Instantiations tool, developers can focus on building and testing rich Internet applications using Eclipse, Java and GWT without having to deal with the complexities of AJAX coding.

Other features in the tool include: bidirectional code generation, in which changes to Java source code are reflected immediately in the graphical designer, and vice versa; Cascading Style Sheets support and rich editing. One-click deployment also is featured, as is internationalization.

GWT Developer is priced at an annual subscription of $39 per seat. Two- and three-year subscriptions cost $69 and $89. A two-week trial copy can be accessed here.
