Hi devs,
I'd like to upgrade platform/web to GWT 2.0 before the 2.2M2 release.
Even if the WYSIWYG users won't notice any difference (maybe a small
decrease in loading time and a small increase in responsiveness dues to
compiler optimizations) this upgrade will help ease the development. You
can find the detailed release notes at
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/ReleaseNotes.html . I'm
most interested in:
* ability to run the unit tests on the build server (a 32-bit JVM isn't
needed anymore, finally, since the tests are run by default with HtmlUnit)
* ability to run and debug the Java code directly in the browser (new
development mode using a FF plugin)
* ability to split the code and load it on demand
In order to upgrade I need
http://google-web-toolkit-incubator.googlecode.com/files/gwt-incubator-2009…
in our maven repo:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=gwt-incubator-20091216-r1739.jar
-DgroupId=com.google.gwt -DartifactId=gwt-incubator
-Dversion=20091216-r1739 -Dpackaging=jar
Who can help me with that?
All unit and integration tests pass locally so here's my +1.
My take is that it's just too dangerous to do now, especially since we should already
have released XE 2.2M2 and we're late. I don't think there's any value in
taking unnecessary risks at this point.
Personally I'd much rather wait for XE 2.3M1 (i.e a few days since we'll create a
branch at the end of this week - I also need that branch to continue my work on references
which I have also stopped last Thursday in order to not cause more unnecessary risks).
So I'd be -1 right now since I don't see a compelling reason to do that now. If
everyone else agrees, I'll reconsider my judgement and move that to a -0.
Thanks

PS: If you really want to start committing it now, we can easily do it on a branch and
merge in a few days. The merge would probably not be hard.
