It seems to me that the answer to a bad feeling is to contribute time and resources to help out, and I am going to try and do that. I would say that the number of developers isn't the only problem. I can't understand why an earlier release wasn't made with Java 8 syntax support. My impression is t

Any progress with GWT 2.8.0

Re: When will GWT 2.8 GA realistically happen?

It's good practice for the development of commercial products which have to guarantee reliability and stability (as I am working on) to only use stable releases, and even then only after such releases have been generally available long enough for major bugs to have been located and fixed. I c

Re: Getting rid of Dev mode for future GWT releases

Re: Getting rid of Dev mode for future GWT releases

SDM takes some getting used to, but now I wouldn't want to go back to Dev mode. The real advantage I have found with SDM is the ability to debug a large codebase in reasonable time - startups for Dev mode can be very slow. Source maps are now supported pretty much everywhere, and work very wel

Re: Roadmap Question for GWT 3.0

I'm eager for GWT 2.8 because of Lambda support, but I can't see that my company will ever use GWT 3.0 if what you write is true. We have products that make substantial use of GWT Widgets, and there is no prospect of re-writing to some other system. GWT without the Widgets just isn't GWT - it'

Removing the SuperDevMode code server prompt

An irritation for me when using SuperDevMode is the prompt that appears when the application starts before the code server is ready. I have patched my copy of gwt-dev to remove this prompt and keep the code cycling until the code server starts. What I'd ideally like to do is to have this as a

I am in the same situation. Having seen suggestions of the likely release of GWT 2.8 for the start of this year, I'm eager to switch to the use of Java 8 syntax. One of GWT's selling points has been the use of the same language across client and server. Right now we are stuck with Java 7 on t
