Re: GWT 2.8.0 is not compatible with java6

Hi all,

A workaround to use gwt-2.8.0 in Java 6 is using retrololamda. Here how I configured it (using maven), by adding a profile (here the gist):

<profile>
	<id>production</id>
	<activation>
	<property>
	<name>production</name>
	</property>
	</activation>
	<dependencyManagement>
	<dependencies>
	<dependency>
	<groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
	<artifactId>gwt-servlet</artifactId>
	<scope>provided</scope>
	</dependency>
	</dependencies>
	</dependencyManagement>
	<properties>
	<resources-environment-folder>${basedir}/src/env/production</resources-environment-folder>
	</properties>
	<build>
	<plugin>
	<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
	<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>2.10</version>
	<executions>
	<execution>
	<phase>process-classes</phase>
	<goals>
	<goal>unpack-dependencies</goal>
	</goals>
	<configuration>
	<includeArtifactIds>gwt-servlet</includeArtifactIds>
	<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/classes</outputDirectory>
	</configuration>
	</execution>
	</executions>
	</plugin>
	<!-- Convert Java 8 to Java 6 -->
	<plugin>
	<groupId>net.orfjackal.retrolambda</groupId>
	<artifactId>retrolambda-maven-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>2.3.0</version>
	<executions>
	<execution>
	<phase>process-classes</phase>
	<goals>
	<goal>process-main</goal>
	<goal>process-test</goal>
	</goals>
	</execution>
	</executions>
	<configuration>
	<defaultMethods>true</defaultMethods>
	<target>1.6</target>
	</configuration>
	</plugin>
	</build>
	</profile>

Hi all,

At release notes is not mentioned that now it will support only java7.

Good catch!

 

I found tbroyer comment here:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28879590/jdk-and-jre-minimal-versions-required-for-gwt-compiling-and-running

Can be updated the release notes with that?

Let me know, I can create the pull request.

Yes please, go ahead.
