Re: GWT 2.8 update
Any idea when this 2.7.1 release might be available?

Re: GWT 2.8 update
You can already use Java 8 to compile GWT 2.7 if that helps you at all (just don't use Java 8 syntax on the client side yet). I've been using it for over two months without any issues.

Re: GWT 2.8 update
I have been using Java 8 to compile GWT for many months. What I'm concerned about is the ability to use Java 8 syntax in code common to both client and server. The current situation means I have to either avoid Java 8 features altogether or develop in two different sets of Java syntax for client and server. As I said, the release of Java 8 features has been promised as 'coming soon' for about 9 months. This is not really what I would expect from a widely used framework with a good reputation. At the very least could we have more openness about the state of Java 8 features in GWT, and the prospects of a release quality implementation?

That sounds like an excellent idea. I would find this being available in an official release of GWT would be really useful - not because I don't trust snapshots, but it would help reassure clients who use my products. This would also, of course, permit Java 8 syntax to be used in Android and iOS development via gwt-phonegap. For now I will start to make use of the snapshot jars, and I will look forward to a possible 2.7.1 release.
