Re: GWT 2.8 generates code 14% bigger than GWT 2.7




Do you have a step by step guide to run the closure compiler externally ?

Basically you would need to replicate what has been done programmatically in the removed ClosureJsRunner class. See commit


Looks like you have to
- define your own gwt_externs file to tell Closure Compiler which special GWT variables not to rename
- maybe create a hack.js file that exports gwtOnLoad function so it does not get removed by Closure Compiler. Maybe its not needed if also passing in the <module>.nocache.js file to Closure compiler. no idea.
- Give Closure Compiler the GWT output (your *.cache.js files including split points) in the correct ordering as split point files have dependencies (initial fragment, leftover, split points)



Thanks for your help, but unfortunately this does not look like a simple process to implement for GWT users like us.  For the moment we will remain in GWT 2.7 which generates a smaller code for our website, and hoping that future GWT versions will be able to reduce or at least maintain the same code size as version 2.7
