Maybe there is effectively going to be a fork? So if the interest was there could be GWT 2.9 - GWT 2.123 I think that might represent the truth that there is one user base that wants to build Java apps that happen to run in a browser vs users who are working on products that need to squeeze

I'm puzzled as to what the disadvantages could be of GWT Widgets. They are, after all, translated to efficient JavaScript and allow full use of the browser. I can see that some developers might want to integrate with JavaScript frameworks, but others, like me, start writing applications in pure

I can see the logic of GWT 3.0. The browser has evolved a lot since GWT was first designed. Back in those days every browser had significant quirks and the lowest common denominator was very low. In 2015 there is less reason for a big layer between domain code and the browser. I think the same

+1 I think the division of GWT-compiler and GWT-widgets is the right thing to do. The web-platform is moving fast and to GWT has to adopt to stay relevant. Webcomponents have the potential to become the new widgets and the new JSInterops will make it quite easy to consume webcomponents that are

Somehow people seem to forget that they don't have to migrate at all if its not profitable. Just stay on GWT 2.8.x and only start new projects with new technology. There will be plenty of companies that have huge apps that will not be rewritten anytime soon (if at all) so IMHO GWT 2.8.x will

I'm trying to understand my options. * Stick with 2.x and risk being left behind and the project becoming neglected due to split effort. * Try to migrate to 3.x and possibly throw away a big investment. * Look to move to something other than GWT. Obviously we will also be taking action to

Actually what makes sense for me in an after split era is * compile with the newest GWT 3.5, 4, 5 to pick up new features * link with legacy but compatible gwt-widgets until I can gradually get rid of them - or not. This way I can migrate step by step my application (widget per widget) and stay
