    <p>unfortunately two of your statements are mutually exclusive in this context:</p> <ul> <li>Our development team has no Java experience</li> <li>Time to market is a factor</li> </ul> <p>I'm a Java programmer who has picked up GWT over the last year or so. It's immensely effective being able to write direct to the browser using a compiled language &amp; mature development tools. I can fly through web-development faster than ever before (using ASP, JSP, ExtJS ...).</p> <p>But, as the other commenters have said: if you've no Java experience you're going to find it a real challenge picking up both technologies (Java &amp; GWT) in a short time. If you do manage to make it to market in a reasonable time I could only imagine the code base would be in very poor condition (since you'd be learning as you go) - which would be a very poor foundation for your organisation's shiny new venture.</p> <p>There again, you don't have a 'lot' of skills in the other related skills you listed either.</p> <p>I suspect there's a more effective solution. As some wise old goat project manager said:</p> <blockquote> <p>I have three variables to delivering your project: time, cost and quality. Pick any two</p> </blockquote> <p>In your situation, if the organisation wants a quality product in a short time, it's the cost factor that must compensate - your organisation should buy in some interim GWT expertise to give you a sound software architecture and to mentor your team for the next few months. After that you'll be ready to take the reigns, inheriting a quality codebase by 'standing on the shoulders of giants'.</p>
