IT Mill Toolkit Readme
==============================================================================
This is an experimental version of IT Mill Toolkit built using
out of process hosted mode (OOPHM) branch of Google Web Toolkit. It uses different
version of GWT libraries and compiler than the official , so please
use with caution. The benefits are that after you install browser plugins from
gwt/plugins, you should be able to enable hosted mode within real browsers by adding
?gwt.hosted=127.0.0.1:9997 parameter to the application url you are using.
Please post any comments and questions about OOPHM version to IT Mill Toolkit forums.
