That is described here:
http://www.glom.org/wiki/index.php?title=Development/OnlineGlom#Configuring_gwt-glom

and here:

It currently uses libglom (C++) via JNI, with a Java (GWT) UI. I plan to
replace the use of libglom with a Java reimplementation, but only the
non-developer functionality.

They will co-exist. Rewriting all of Glom's functionality in Java and
GWT would be a massive Job.
