(SDBG does not need these as it has the "real" source files in the Eclipse IDE.)
Therefore the perfect scenario would be if these files are indeed materialized by the codeserver lazily, on a file-by-file basis, once such a file is requested by the browser. A compromise would be if there is an option to switch their generation off, but it defaults to ON (generating them). >> Finally one side question: >> Does the incremental compiler preserve the names of the generated >> JavaScript types/functions across recompiles?

And yes, super-fast recompile is the most important thing of all. Everything else can wait. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Contributors" group.
