Pretty cool news. 
Does this mean that Vaadin Widget will now work client side too ? 

2012/7/3 Joonas Lehtinen <jo...@jole.fi>

As announced at Google IO, the upcoming Vaadin Framework 7 will include GWT as its core component and will be fully compatible with GWT. 

This way Vaadin will allow user interface development both on the server-side and on the client-side. Server-side development is optimized for productivity with fully automated communications and browser-side. Client-side development gives a full control of rendering and communications to the developer who can still use Java as the programming language. 

Vaadin 7 release is expected in the beginning of October. The first developer preview version (alpha 3) with GWT built-in was released today.

More info about this can be found at https://vaadin.com/gwt

This is great news. 

Finally, aesthetically appealing widgets for GWT. Been wanting something like this for a very long time, like a lot of other GWT dev's.

What does this exactly mean? What will be possible with Vaadin 7 that didn't work before?

https://vaadin.com/gwt looks nice but I got only some minor new points:
- Vaadin keeps its own GWT branch. To meet all requirements that are hardly possible with GWT (which was not designed to be a runtime)?
- Vaadin Ldt. offers first level GWT support.
What's missing?

 As far as I know, Vaadin is server side framework with GWT components wrapping.   

A quick question.. If GWT is for client side then what is vaadin for?
