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-20091... 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 -Vincent 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.
