To minimize complexity and compilation times, GWT's libraries are broken up into
modules that contain various functionality. For example, there is a module
for JSON support, and a separate module for the HTTP RequestBuilder
functionality. If you want to use a given piece of functionality, you must
include the appropriate module via an <inherits> tag in your project's XML
file.
Since it can be difficult to remember which module includes which functionality, the table below summarizes the available modules.
