The problem with these starter kits is that they often generate so much stuff that you end up spending more time removing stuff you don't want than actually building what you need right from the start. Spring Roo was offering something similar for JSP, JSF, GWT, it has so many complex proxy classes that I eventually abandoned it. It's still a great tool for generating the DB models.

I guess anything is better than GWT these days, need to write too much code in GWT to get any useful work done.

That is exactly the reason why we've launched our project. We build system which allows to generate exactly what developer needs in particular project.

Now we built only the first part - UI builder which can generate UI components along with glue code for backend for Single Page App. And the next step will be atomic generators which generate components with connection to the backend - REST, etc. And the main advantage of our generators is a clean code.

Definitely sounds useful! If it weren't for code generation capabilities in IDEs, Java would not have been a productive language for me, these can improve productivity even further. Keep us posted
