In the example you've given, GWT would compile the shared code into the module containing the Widgets, so there is only one copy. Furthermore, any unused methods in the libraries are not compiled or downloaded, as the GWT compiler eliminates dead code.
Furthermore, you can break up an app into multiple pieces that get loaded "just in time" with http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCodeSplitting.html HTH, /dmc On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 12:14 PM, clintjhill <[email protected]> wrote: > I'll ask the same question in a different way. > > There are 2 widgets.
