Re: GWT 2.8 delays

That is a great conversation which really gives me confidence in the future of GWT. Thanks for posting. On Thursday, 2 June 2016 09:51:53 UTC+1, mark kevin ringor wrote: > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CElykwDVrBc > Here is a video about GWT 2.8 > > On Sunday, May 8, 2016 at 11:26:22 PM

Re: GWT 2.8 delays

I am with NGdeM on this one. Just make a lot more smaller releases. This will give a better impression of the state of the GWT project. I am aware you can create your own builds. But it is much better to do a lot more official releases for the state of the project. -- You received this

Re: GWT 2.8 delays

Hi, And thanks for the suggestion. Something I will definitely try out. However, I am not sure how practical this approach actually is once you depend on third party gwt libraries that do not keep a release pace matchin your internal nexus GWT 2.8 releases... Some people seem to be keeping pace

Re: GWT 2.8 delays

One can understand that the amount of resources behind Angular are far superior to those behind GWT. In any case, the project's last official hear-beat dates from December 3, 2015, and this was a beta release. For anybody watching, it is scary to see a UI framework having releases going out

Re: GWT 2.8 delays

J2CL is the next-generation Java-to-JavaScript compiler that is currently being developed by Google. The GWT committee will decide if J2CL will be used for GWT 3 (or whatever the next major release of GWT will be called). On Monday, May 9, 2016 at 3:53:16 PM UTC-4, steve Zara wrote: > > I

Re: GWT 2.8 delays

I misunderstood. I assumed that GWT and J2CL were basically the same thing (or that GWT would be renamed J2CL! On Monday, 9 May 2016 17:30:45 UTC+1, Michael Zhou wrote: > > Google is definitely interested in Java 8 emulation, but most efforts are > being spent on J2CL, which goes from Java 8

Google is definitely interested in Java 8 emulation, but most efforts are being spent on J2CL, which goes from Java 8 -> Closure-style ES6. On Sunday, May 8, 2016 at 4:53:17 PM UTC-4, steve Zara wrote: > > Thank you - it does highlight where help can be given. I'm really > surprised at the

Re: GWT 2.8 delays

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

So many people depending on GWT, GWT depending on Java 8 support/ guava and Google does not work on the Java 8 API emulation. 3 devs working on Java 8 emulation in spare time. Is it just me having a bad feeling here? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Re: GWT 2.8 delays

Thank you - it does highlight where help can be given. I'm really surprised at the situation with Java 8 emulation - is this something that Google is just not interested in? It seems odd given their description of Java technologies that give them cross-platform development: Android JDK, GWT, and

GWT 2.8 delays

GWT 2.8 is now well over a year behind what seemed to be the original schedule. I'm having to deal with colleagues who say they have lost confidence in the GWT project, which is a problem as I have GWT projects to support and further develop, as part of what I hope will be a globally used and
