Re: Roadmap Question for GWT 3.0

I'm trying to understand my options.

* Stick with 2.x and risk being left behind and the project becoming neglected due to split effort.

* Try to migrate to 3.x and possibly throw away a big investment.

* Look to move to something other than GWT.

Obviously we will also be taking action to isolate ourselves from this uncertainty. A lot of that is just good practice anyway.

FWIW Our team works on a single app that is meant to have a life of 10+ years.

Somehow people seem to forget that they don't have to migrate at all if its not profitable. Just stay on GWT 2.8.x and only start new projects with new technology. There will be plenty of companies that have huge apps that will not be rewritten anytime soon (if at all) so IMHO GWT 2.8.x will continuously get bug fixes for years. Maybe in the long run not from the Google GWT team because Google has the power to actually migrate their apps and will probably focus on the new compiler then once that has happened.

Personally I consider the new Java to Closure compiler/transpiler as a separate product. Migrating to a new product costs money and time so its totally valid to not migrate. Our company will definitely not migrate anytime soon unless there is an easy incremental migration path. Only new stuff might be build with the new Java to Closure compiler.
