Our generator is already over 25k and growing. It might be more trivial if you just target a subset and gave up strictness of the types in the API (e.g. using Object when you see union types). > > If that's not possible, would it be possible to at least get some details > about the implementation?

Both entry points end up creating a common Java model that rest of the generation pipeline runs over and finalizes the Java APIs. > > Thanks > -Ming > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "GWT Contributors" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to google-web-toolkit-contributors+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/ > msgid/google-web-toolkit-contributors/507ab806-d365- > 4889-81ce-ece6c0e7885a%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/google-web-toolkit-contributors/507ab806-d365-4889-81ce-ece6c0e7885a%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Contributors" group.
