Removal of embedded Jetty from DevMode sounds sensible and I would normally agree.
However, I am working as an architect for a global organization with many projects build on GWT and our development process relies heavily on DevMode and embedded Jetty. Removing embedded Jetty will make the work for our developers more difficult because they will have to perform at least 5 steps to run our applications on their PCs compared to just 1 at the moment. This is going to raise quite a few eyebrows across the enterprise and decrease the productivity of our developers. I also expect that we are not only the only organisation with GWT codebases and other teams equally rely on DevMode and embedded Jetty.. I vote for removal of support for Java7 and adjustment of the GWT classpath to align with embedded Jetty classpath, under GWT 2.9.0 and so forth in the future. Please don't force us to change our ways unnecessarily. On Tuesday, 13 April 2021 at 16:16:51 UTC+1 [email protected] wrote: > I agree with Jens.
