Wirelexsoft has released an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), VistaFei, for building Ajax applications on Google Web Toolkit (GWT) for all Ajax-enabled platforms. In the Eclipse-based IDE, applications are built by ‘drag & drop’ from a palette on the basis of What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG).

According to the company, VistaFei is a visual feature-full Java development environment in which applications are developed in Java, then compiled and debugged using GWT Compiler and Debugger and launched to a browser from within the same environment.

VistaFei claims to be the ideal solution for building dynamic web applications for businesses of all sizes, from small businesses such as small software companies and individual software developers, to the Enterprise such as banks, telecoms and large consulting companies. VistaFei is the ideal tool for architects, business analysts and designers of dynamic applications for the web and all Ajax-enabled platforms (phone, PDAs, etc)

Key features of VistaFei include:

• Easy to learn with on-line Help documentation and user guidance.
• Easy image handling
• Visual development capabilities with more than 35 elements in the palette covering most developer's needs for AJAX application design
• Full Internationalization capabilities and can import translations from standard Excel spreadsheets
• Transparent Launch of GWT Compiler and Debugger
• Wizards to create new GWT Projects and AJAX Applications
• Wizards to create Tables, Grids, Tabs, etc
• Connects to standard Version Control Systems, such as CVS and ClearCase
• Integrates with Eclipse Web Tool Platform (WTP) enabling access to its Tools and Editors.
