CssResource offers a strict mode [1] which ensures that the emitted JS / CSS is as optimal as the system can make it by imposing a few conditions on the input Java / CSS. Specifically, all CSS class selectors must correspond with a Java accessor method, or the class name must be explicitly exempted from obfuscation.
A warning was added to the compiler many weeks ago to encourage users to annotate their CssResources with @NotStrict or @Strict in preparation for this move. The @NotStrict annotation will continue to be honored indefinitely and the @Strict annotation will be retired. There are two patches related to this move: http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/75804 - Switches CssResourceGenerator to operate in strict-by-default behavior - Removes the CssResource.strictAccessors configuration property http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/72808 - Adds a utility class which will examine a CSS file and produce a CssResource interface which can be used to access the class selectors in that CSS file. Example use: java -cp gwt-dev.jar:gwt-user.jar \ com.google.gwt.resources.css.InterfaceGenerator \ -standalone \ -typeName some.package.MyCssResource \ -css /Users/bob/gwt/trunk/user/test/com/google/gwt/resources/client/test.css \ > src/some/package/MyCssResource.java [1] http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/CssResource#Strict_scoping -- Bob Vawter Google Web Toolkit Team --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
