Team and contributors - Does anyone have a good method for deprecating non-Java files, such as images?
Description: ========= I recently updated the GWT style themes, so some of the IE6 specific images are no longer necessary. However, some people might be inheriting just the StandardResources and using those images with a custom version of the standard.css style sheet, so we can't just delete theme without notice. I'm sending this out to gwt-contrib because it seems like somebody might have run into a similar scenario at some point. Proposals: ======== 1. Don't delete them - its rare that we need to delete non-Java public files (really, it only applies to public files), so we could just let these orphaned files live into infinity and beyond (Buzz Lightyear style). While this goes against my "clean it up" engineering mentality, it doesn't break anyone's code. 2. Include a list of deprecated files in to the release notes. This is a great way to inform people... who read the release notes. It also give people a full release to update their styles or copy the files.
