    101 <P>
    102 The presence of this annotation on a type indicates that the type may be
    103  used with the
    104  <a href="http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/">Google Web Toolkit</a> (GWT).
    105  When applied to a method, the return type of the method is GWT compatible.
    106  It's useful to indicate that an instance created by factory methods has a GWT
    107  serializable type.  In the following example,
    108 
    109  <pre style="code">
    110  @GwtCompatible
    111  class Lists {
    112    ...
    113    @GwtCompatible(serializable = true)
    114    static &lt;E> List&lt;E> newArrayList(E... elements) {
    115      ...
    116    }
    117  }
    118  </pre>
    119  The return value of <code>Lists.newArrayList(E[])</code> has GWT
    120  serializable type.  It is also useful in specifying contracts of interface
    121  methods.  In the following example,
    122 
    123  <pre style="code">
    124  @GwtCompatible
    125  interface ListFactory {
    126    ...
    127    @GwtCompatible(serializable = true)
    128    &lt;E> List&lt;E> newArrayList(E... elements);
    129  }
    130  </pre>
    131  The <code>newArrayList(E[])</code> method of all implementations of <code>ListFactory</code> is expected to return a value with a GWT serializable type.
    132 
    133  <p>Note that a <code>GwtCompatible</code> type may have some <A HREF="../../../../com/google/common/annotations/GwtIncompatible.html" title="annotation in com.google.common.annotations"><CODE>GwtIncompatible</CODE></A> methods.
