I've been using GWT for several years now but after updating to the 2.1.0 release I'm seeing hundreds of warnings, mostly to do with the deprecation of ui panels (e.g., DockPanel). I assume the panels weren't strictly compatible with the UIBinder (something I haven't gotten into), so new LayoutPanels were needed, but does this mean the previous panels need to be deprecated?
I've looked into updating my (for example) DockPanels to DockLayoutPanels and they aren't close to the same. I've just started and I've already come up with: * Docs say you must use standards mode (not a big problem) * Docs say you should use RootLayoutPanel instead of RootPanel, but I can't do this because I need to grab specific components from the DOM with RootPanel.get(String) * The DockLayoutPanel constructor takes a unit (for what?) * The DockLayoutPanel takes a size parameter when adding an element (but I don't know what the size is) * The DockLayoutPanel isn't a cell panel so you can't set alignment (there is likely a way around this) So now I have 500 warnings in my IDE and no easy way to fix them. I completely understand that code needs to be deprecated from time to time, but I don't feel like it was done with reasonable alternatives nor do I feel like it was ready to make official. Looking at the Showcase it still has DockPanel as one of the layout options (included with other deprecated items) and no usage of DockLayoutPanel. Do I have any other alternatives other than reverting back to 2.0.x? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
