Re: GWT 2.7.0 is here

Hi Daniel,

These are good news, the bad news is the fact that we won't be able to use eclipse with all its developement shortcutted features (source navigation, breakpoint and bookmark management, tasks, etc...). The solution is an eclipse plugin that will read the sourcemap and display/communicate with the browser to dispatch debug events. The good news is that there's already on project doing this, but the bémol is that the sourcemap spec is leaking some vital information: see this bug for example https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sdbg/Ku3WWrdtKis

Do you think GWT can allocate some of the energy they were spending in the browser plugin to fix this kind of issues?

I just want to underline that GWT's success was: develop in Java and run in the browser. Now there's a big piece of the "develop in java" that was cut off: debugging and source navigation while running. So it's the heart of the spirit of GWT that has been touched with the superDevMode

Unless the strategy is to migrate projects towards dart and drop GWT out, I think this feature is vital for the success of GWT to keep going

Today we are excited to announce the GWT 2.7.0 release.  Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release, especially our non-Google open source contributors.

One major feature of this release is a new super fast compilation path in Super Dev mode that replaces the old dev mode.
For a run-down of all changes since GWT 2.6.1, read the release notes.

The release is available for download here or on maven central.

If you find any issues with this release, please file a bug in our issue tracker.

Daniel,
