Re: Important videos from GWT Meet-up 2015

Hi,

  we have heavy invested our time into GWT to build the product which will be available for at least next 5 years (ERP in cloud). But I think the direction they have made is really necessary and only reasonable. And it should be done year or two before (after SDM and GSS), because some promising technologies (Elemental 2.0, next JSNI, also Java 8 support) and now buzz for more then two years.

  Regards,

  Matic

GWT 2.8 will be a long supported and maintained branch of GWT. It's just that you can not use the new compiler if you use some of the current GWT library stuff.

Upcoming things like Singular, Elemental 2.0, Java 8, JsInterop can all be used with GWT 2.8. You are not forced to upgrade your possibly large app to be compatible with the GWT 3.0 compiler and the GWT 2.8 branch is not considered obsolete/deprecated anytime soon.

I do not expect that GWT 3.0 will be adopted quickly for existing apps. However for new apps it will probably be pretty great to use. I also expect GWT 3.0 to be a bit clunky at release because it needs some decent build system integration and things like Bazel do not have great IDE support yet.
