I’m reading up on GWT and so far it sounds too good to be true (!).

I’d like to start investing the time to really learning GWT but I would have some very specific uses for it, and I’d hate to spend 2 weeks learning it only to find out that I can’t use it after all.

I’ve combed over the FAQs and done a ton of searches but for the life of me cannot find answers to some very specific questions. Since they’re so similar in nature (they all have to do with the capabilities of GWT, which are, surprisingly, largely-absent from the project docs) I figured rather than clutter SO with lots of micro-questions I would just put them here as they should shed light on the same issue that I’m having difficulty wrapping my head around:

  • One of the hallmarked “best practices” for performant web development is to place CSS at the top of each HTML page, and JS at the bottom; can GWT honor this, and more generally, does GWT allow you to output client-side code however you like (meaning, the order the code gets generated in as well as the code that gets generated)?
  • Does GWT support client-side MVC/MVP patterns? In a nutshell, how?
  • Does GWT require any sort of special configuration, libraries, etc. for outputting a “mobile web” version of your code in addition to the “normal web” version (meaning, 2+ generated codebases where 1 is meant to be served to web browser and the other is meant to be served to a mobile browser like WebKit)?
  • Where does the official GWT project (hosted and maintained by Google) document its list of supported browsers? I was only able to find this which is 4 years old.

Thanks in advance for any help/nudges in the right direction.
