Re: Development Mode will not be supported in Firefox 27+

Super Dev Mode works and we have many teams that use it. The Chrome debugger is quite good and I recommend learning it well; anyone working on web apps will benefit from knowing this tool. For other browsers, adding a GWT.debugger() call to the Java code and recompiling is an easy way to stop in the right place. I discussed other workarounds in my GWT.create talk [1].

It's an unfortunate transition and this experience is not as smooth as it could be yet, but that's where we are.

That is pretty bad information for all GWT developers. 
For now I can stick with FF 24.2, however in the future we need to develop on the most up to date browsers. 

When do you estimate Super Dev Mode will be production ready? If it is more then 6 months then we should think of some workaround. Is is possible to do a custom build of FF with all necessery symbols exported? According to

[1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=920731

they have switched it off. But if someone (sorry I am not C++ developer so I will not do it myself) can build GWT development version with those symbols. Then we would be able to do development for several more months on the latest browser and wait till Super Dev Mode if fully functional.
 
Can someone clarify what is meant by "fully functional" for Super dev mode?  In my view, debugging the client-side GWT code in the IDE debugger, alongside server-side Java code, is the "killer feature."  I can't believe anyone would ever consider in-browser Javascript debugging to be an acceptable replacement.  Or perhaps I'm missing something?
