title: Threading in GWT (Client)
body: <p>From what I understand, the entire client side of a GWT application is converted to Javascript when you build, therefore I suppose this question is related to both Javascript and the possibilities that GWT offers.</p>
  
  <p>I have a couple of dozen processes that will need to be initiated in my GWT application, each process will then continuously make calls to a server. Does GWT support threading? Does the GWT client side support threading?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>This <a href="http://chaoticjava.com/posts/some-gwt-excitement/" rel="noreferrer">link</a> states:</p>
  
  <pre><code>No JavaScript knowledge required If you’re just a user of the framework, 
  which I am for the matter of discussion, you do not need to know JavaScript 
  in order to write dynamic content, be it client-side such as rolling frames, 
  docking panels or scheduled “multi-threading” tasks, or server-side calls 
  using XMLHttpRequests (aka AJAX). 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><em>or scheduled “multi-threading” tasks</em>, what does this mean?</p>
