It's possible to use GWT in a Jruby app?

A:
No, it is not possible to use GWT in any other programming language.
The key thing to understand is that "GWT" translates to "convert Java code to JavaScript"; in other words, it is fundamentally a compiler technology. While GWT offers other benefits, such as a rich collection of widgets, it's main purposes is running Java code as JavaScript.
However, between GWT and Google App Engine I am sure there are many ways to solve your problem. Can you share any more details about what you are trying to do?

Thanks, I understand now. I believed that GWT was some kind of widget java library, but i see now that is a java compiler. Thanks to all.

There is one language in which you might be able to write GWT applications soon: Mirah (http://mirah.org). Mirah has both a JVM bytecode backend and a Java source backend, which means it can work with GWT.But no, there's no way to use JRuby to write GWT applications.
