Re: Problem compiling GWT code with Java9

2018-01-04 Thread James Nelson
If you aren't using java 9 modules, the latest release will work.  It does 
this by reading the classpath from System.getProperty("java.class.path"), 
so if you are using standard tools for creating classpath, everything 
should work fine.  If you are doing anything non-standard for assigning 
classpaths, or if you are using java 9 modules (i.e. you supply a 
modulepath instead of classpath), this will very likely not work for you.

Per my previous comments, my colleagues (Colin Alworth and Justin Hickman) 
and I did start a GWT-based services company, vertispan.com.  If you want 
to chat, you can send an email to supp...@vertispan.com or come chat 
in https://gitter.im/gwtproject/gwt  We generally help anyone for free in 
the public chat room, since it helps everyone to learn about fixes, but for 
anything requiring dedicated engineering effort, we prefer to do a support 
contract.

While I cannot say what the team at Google has in store for java 9 in gwt 
2, I do have a prototype fix for java 9 modules on an old branch, so if you 
do run into trouble, feel free to post here, but you'll likely get a much 
faster response in gitter.  I have the jars pushed to a public-facing 
artifactory, and can give out coordinates if you have more exotic needs 
(and are willing to use coarse workarounds while a better solution is 
developed).  My fix resorts to reflection to access new java 9 classloader 
types, needs a bunch of ugly flags to open modules for reading by 
classloaders, and even had to unpack all of gwt-user and gwt-dev to avoid 
overloaded packages (no longer legal to have the same package in more than 
one jar in java 9).

Getting a prototype "this can work" was pretty easy, but getting it fully 
cleaned up with necessary modularization / refactoring is a potentially 
large chunk of work that could affect many files.  

So, I hope the "java.class.path" workaround works for you.  If it doesn't, 
come see us in gitter, or post back here (if you are ok waiting a few days 
for a response).

Re: Problem compiling GWT code with Java9

FYI. Google released a GWT update in October 
(http://www.gwtproject.org/release-notes.html#Release_Notes_2_8_2) that 
supposed includes fixes to allow it to work with Java9. We'll be trying 
that soon.

Re: Problem compiling GWT code with Java9

2017-06-07 Thread James Nelson
Also, the reason gwt.xml files aren't loading sanely has to do with how 
resources are handled in java 9. 

You are going to have to either declare your source modules (with the 
gwt.xml) as `open` (no documentation for this, I found it trolling JCP 
forums),
or you can open your module to your gwt module (I built this with an 
unspeakable hack for exploration purposes) with --add-opens VM args.


If you dig into classloaders, you will discover that they will allow access 
to .class files from non-opened modules, but all other resources are 
effectively hidden unless explicitly opened.

Re: Problem compiling GWT code with Java9

2017-06-07 Thread James Nelson
Hi.

Per this thread:
https://plus.google.com/+JamesNelsonX/posts/gBfpBDnwV9V

I have actually dove into Java 9 support, and cleared all the roadblocks 
once (before the JCP pushback force the module system to get more last 
minute changes).

The main issue was not language support (easy upgrade from eclipse jdt), or 
a tiny change for try-with-resources (allows effectively final variable 
references, instead of only local variable declarations)...
The biggest problem was the changes to the classloading system.

Specifically, they no longer use URLClassLoader for system classloaders, 
meaning that any attempts to "rip out the classpath" will not work any 
longer.

I managed to hack together a working compile where I check if java 9 
classloaders are in use, and if so, use reflection (with requires 
--add-opens for using reflection on the classloader, plus opening the 
source module so that the gwt code can see external resources), to get 
access to those URLs.

What I did is only one way to fix; we could also add classpath declarations 
to gwt (I use an annotation system that can reference maven modules for my 
own compiles, so I could actually get classpath without looking inside 
classloader).  There might also be less terrible hacks we can use once the 
module APIs are cemented in place.



If you really want to play with this RFN, I can push a build of my gwt fork 
to maven central for you to try out.  I don't really have a snapshot repo, 
or time to respond to bugfixes atm (though I am considering opening a gwt 
support shop this fall, and will "do it right" at that time).  If you are 
comfortable doing local installs to maven just to assess possibilities (or 
if you maintain your own nexus repo), I could just send you jars directly 
(though, that is generally a bit sketchy, imho).

Let me know; I won't have time to do a release this weekend as it is my 
wife's birthday, but I can fit it in if you'd like (and the comments in the 
G+ post aren't helpful enough).

I hadn't tried until now, but have the exact same error with 9-ea+152 
(using package oracle-java9-installer from webupd8 on Ubuntu 16.10) on a 
simple hello-world project (that compiles OK with Java 8).

Trying to run GWT's own test suite with Java 9 might possibly help 
understand where the problem comes from.

Re: Problem compiling GWT code with Java9

2017-02-15 Thread Jens
I think it is more a class path / module path issue than a unitCache issue 
(you can always delete the unit cache or don't use it at all by disabling 
it on the command line). I guess GWT Compiler simply does not see 
Core.gwt.xml even though you have inherited it.
