When creating large web applications with GWT, it’s not always clear how to get started. The most important (but most difficult!) question, I’ve found, is exactly how to structure the project – i.e. what justifies creating multiple web applications, multiple GWT modules, multiple EntryPoints, or everything all in one.

Like anything in our business, it seems the “right” answer is “it depends”, and so in this post I hope to highlight a few of the factors in this decision.
