Is GWT supported on the PlayBook?

Question

We have a web application built with GWT 2.4 that does not seem to work on the Playbook. Does the Blackberry Playbook tablet support GWT at all?

From the latter:

If you ever wonder why your GWT app doesn't start on a blackberry OS7, you might be experiencing the same problem I had a week ago. I spend a couple of hours investigating and basically, if you try to perform a Integer.parseInt, it fails miserably. Nothing in the logs, nothing in the console, etc. Debugging the JS gwt code I found that it's checking on the min/max value of an int. And guess what? OS7 browser doesn't support them...
