quote: Loading multiple modules in an HTML host page If you have multiple GWT modules in your application, there are two ways to approach loading them. Compile each module separately and include each module with a separate <script> tag in your HTML host page. Create a top level module XML definition that includes all the modules you want to include. Compile the top level module to create a single set of JavaScript output. The first approach may seem the easiest and most obvious. However, the second approach will lead to much better end-user performace. The problem with loading multiple modules is that each module has to be downloaded seperately by the end-user's browser. In addition, each module will contain redundant copies of GWT library code and could possibly conflict with each other during event handling. The second approach is strongly recommended.
