Re: What are legal "user.agent=" values?

For the sake of others running into the same issue:

I was able to fix the the above issue causing the error "Value 'ie8' in not a valid value for property 'user.agent'" by providing my own version of the ".../com/sencha/gxt/core/Core.gwt.xml"-file (the original is in gxt-4.0.2.jar) in which I commented away the outdated stuff following the " <!-- Restrict the permutation explosion -->" comment.

But only to now getting stuck with:

WTF?

Thanks for responding and clarifying this! 

Unfortunately, we are using some library which obviously tries to set an outdated value and so I now end up in:
...

:-(

Too many libraries in use here...

So - according to the release notes which mention "FF", "Chrome", "IE" (for IE11), "Edge", and "Safari" as new user.agent values I changed that to "Chrome, Edge". 

Not these values are for running HTMLUnit, not for GWT compiler.

Thus my question: what *are* the new valid user.agent values? Do they have to be in all-lowercase (as the old ones) or what exactly can or does one have to enter here? 

GWT 2.10.0 user.agent values are 

• gecko1_8: Used for FireFox and IE 11
• safari: Used for everything based on WebKit (Safari, Chrome, Edge, Opera, ...)
