Instantiations, a maker of software quality, security and
productivity tools for the Eclipse open source software platform, has
announced an upgrade to version 7.3 of its graphical user interface
(GUI) building product, GWT Designer.
The new release brings GWT Designer in sync with the latest major
new release of the open source Google Web Toolkit (GWT), which now sits
at version 2.0. GWT Designer 7.3 includes new features such as support
for the new GWT 2.0 Development Mode, layout panels, widgets and more.
This new release of GWT Designer supports Windows, Linux and Mac OS X
operating systems.
“GWT development continues at a rapid pace largely due to Google’s
continued evolution of the framework, the rich set of third-party
component libraries and of course value-add tools like GWT Designer,”
said Eric Clayberg, senior vice president of product development and
co-founder of Instantiations. “GWT Designer’s continued popularity is
based on the fact that we keep pace with the industry and continually
respond to our customers’ needs," added Clayberg, who also is the
author of the Eclipse Plug-ins book.
GWT Designer is based on Instantiations’ WindowBuilder product. It
features drag-and-drop visual design and bi-directional code
generation, and provides several useful wizards that help make GWT
development easier, Instantiations officials said.
GWT Designer is available through a subscription of $79 for one
year, $129 for 2-years, $179 for 3-years, or a perpetual license is
$169 with one year of support, or it can be purchased as part of the
WindowBuilder Pro product family. Current up-to-date subscription
holders of GWT Designer can upgrade to new versions at no cost as part
of their annual license. A two-week trial is available at
