Hi everyone, I'm currently uploading our latest war files to our server for deployment. I've noticed even though the JS files are only about 400Kb, all my war files (we have multiple war files for our deployment) are around 30MB each.
Closer inspection with winzip shows that the majority of this size are the jars in the lib folder - nearly all of them being GWT client jar libraries and module libraries. I don't understand why they are needed in my war files as they are only used for compliation of the client to JavaScript, not for any servlets. I haven't been able to Google any answers to why GWT does this or what would happen if I removed the jars from the deployment, so was wondering if anyone had an answer to why the war keeps including all these library jar files, if there is a simple ant script to remove them from future war files and if I will face any problems with deployment later on by doing this? If they jars are just included by default for no reason other than the build.xml file not being written properly, it would be nice for a future version of GWT properties file to include an option to remove these during war file packaging so the wars are only a few hundred Kb and take minutes to upload over my ADSL connection as opposed to the hours its taking now! Just in case, I'm using Netbeans with GWT4NB plugin (just in case its an issue with that and not GWT) Thanks, David --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
