You need to answer a whole bunch of questions: 1. You say you have a huge project in hand. I assume since you mention it's J2EE in the title that it is Java based. What is your client "technology"? Struts? Heavy Swing App? JSF? Something else? Are you using any AJAX? 2. How do you communicate to your browser/client? Webservice/XFire/ SOAP? Form posting? JSON? Some sort of custom XML (probably) based SOAP type of thing? Something else?
Your key thing to remember is that GWT primarily runs on the client, in a web browser. It's only way to communicate to a server is via browser technologies, ie. HTTP. So you should be able to extract out your UI code and have it communicate to your current server stack. You might be able to embed a GWT widget in some existing page...maybe. Your best bet is to build a series of server side adapters that are compliant with the GWT-RPC on the server side. These classes would talk to your existing servers in a manner consistent with what you are doing today. Then your client development can be unadulterated GWT. These are just some random thoughts. You don't really provide much details...so I have to stay pretty generic in my advice...
