TL;DR: If you have the capability to do so, now would be an excellent time 
to help us test GWT in anticipation of a release, especially around the 
groupId change we're going to make.

--

We think that we're one merge away from being ready for a GWT 2.10 release, 
so I'm starting the release process a bit early, since this last commit 
involves changing GWT's groupId away from com.google and to org.gwtproject.

To that end, I have a maven repo with the maven changes along wit all of 
the other changes in the GWT 2.10 series. The repo's URL is 
https://repo.vertispan.com/gwt-groupid-migration-test/, and the only GWT 
version that exists there is "2.10.0-new-groupid-2".

Based on earlier work (such as in the 
https://groups.google.com/g/google-web-toolkit-contributors/c/L2RMqglOEXo/m/44BeZKeBCQAJ
 
thread), this should allow projects to transition from com.google.gwt to 
org.gwtproject by adding the org.gwtproject:gwt:pom to their project, and 
then specify gwt-user etc, and automatically manage the version of gwt used 
by dependencies. It should also be possible to just use the old groupid for 
this release, but later releases will not have that option.

Please note that *packages are not changing *as part of this transition, 
only groupIds.

Rough release notes:
 * Updated htmlunit and jetty to more recent versions
 * Dropped support for IE8/9/10
 * Dropped support for Java 7
 * Support long classpaths by using CLASSPATH env vars to run child 
permutation workers
 * Many enhancements to emulation APIs and generated code

Please reply to this thread or email me directly with any 
results/surprises/questions.
