Eric, are you using Maven? It might be the GWT Maven Plugin doing
that, not GWT itself.

 Without trying to be argumentative, is it really necessary for a

 If the answer is yes, could a command-line option be provided to
 disable this?

 Thanks for your time and consideration.

 ps, GWT is basically the greatest thing ever.  I'm not yet sure if
 it's better than sex, but it is better than most US domestic beers.
 Additionally, if I ever meet a GWT developer on the street, I might
 want to hug.

Naw.  I'm running GWT directly from the command-line via a custom
shell script (on OS X).

I've also been (kinda) tracking with trunk, and the warning comes from
there too.  I don't have 1.6 sources readily available, but from
tr...@5796 the message comes from:

$ find . -name *.java -exec grep -Hn A new version of GWT {} \;
./dev/core/src/com/google/gwt/dev/shell/CheckForUpdates.java:287:
logger.log(TreeLogger.WARN, A new version of GWT (

Looks like it's accessing this URL:  
http://tools.google.com/webtoolkit/currentversion.xml

I'm not trying to make a big deal out of this, but I just don't see
how this is necessary.  I mean, really, does Google need to know that
I restart my GWT hosted mode environment about 37k times/day?

Anyways, it'd be great if this feature could be turned off (or just
removed entirely).  If the contributors group is the wrong place for
this topic, don't hesitate to point me somewhere else.

You can pass -XdisableUpdateCheck to the tools to disable the update
check, which is only performed one per day across all of the GWT
tools.

Alternatively, you can compile GWT from source and specify a version
number that ends in .999 via ant -Dgwt.version=2.0.999 dist.
