GWT js for Windows10 Universal Apps?

Just wondering, anyone got any idea if GWT could be used to make Windows10 desktop apps?

From what I can make out it seems "Universal Windows apps" can be written in Javascript/html and Microsoft has some javascript lib (WinJS?) to access desktop stuff.

Universal Windows Apps seem to be pretty compatible, Microsoft is claiming Universal Windows Apps will run on any of the following;

Hololens,Xbox,Desktop,Laptop,Tablets,Phones and IoT devices (those without any screen).

So, essentially, all versions of Windows10 support these same apps, with different things being selectively possible on different platforms by querying if a feature is available. ("does it have a keyboard")

Naturally this makes it quite attractive to develop for - especially if our GWT Java code can be made to run on them all.

Any ideas?
