Ok. I understand the way it works, I just forgot that certain optimizations aren't applied. It's interesting because unused methods of the interface are actually eliminated from the code (look at the generated output). The image strip needs to be generated first, then the implementation of the interface is generated containing all the coordinates for each image. After that point the generators are out of the picture. The normal GWT compilation happens.
The only way to do this is to somehow have a second pass to rebuild the image strip with only the images needed and update the image coordinates. Does anyone know if @ImageResource in the incubator can do this? On Feb 10, 11:56 pm, reechard <richard.j.wal...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes and no. ImageBundle is very useful and easy to set up.
