title: Replacement for GWT
body: <p>I built an application using GWT in 2012 and it has worked fine until now when a major functionality upgrade is required.<br>
  I used GWT because my background is Java and having worked in MVP type projects prior to that it was a good fit. </p>
  
  <p>Today, any problem I encounter and do a  google search for has answers that are posted 2 to 3 years ago ( and in a lot of cases don't solve my own issues ) This is telling me that GWT is being left behind.
  Because I built the app primarly as a hobby to learn GWT I feel like I would like to learn a more recent framework when rebuilding my application.
  So to narrow it down,  I want to know if there is any suitable more recent alternative to GWT out there that still allows me to code in Java. </p>
  
  <p>I understand this may seem like a broad question where answers will be mainly based on opinion but how else can you pick peoples brains except asking "What is your opinion"  How do I do a,b,c using Java is going to be answered 3 different ways by 3 different people based on their opinion of how it should be done.</p>
