Hi, While trying to get my local development setup in order, I kept getting errors when trying to run FalconJx on the examples. The FalconJx tests run fine, so it's not the compiler perse... Some (ha!) digging later, I stumbled on the following: both Falcon and the Closure Compiler (CC) are dependent on the Guava library.
Now the problem: Falcon uses Guava r08. The latest CC seems to use a much more recent version (the latest is 15). This causes problems when doing a full build on a FalconJx project, which invokes the CC to build the release JS. It turns out that more recent versions of Guava deprecated several members of the MapMaker class, as well as hide some others. This prevents Falcon from being compiled using a recent version of Guava. I don't think it is a good idea to keep relying on an old (2011) version of Guava, thereby also locking us also to an old version of the CC. The best way to fix this is to follow the documentation here [1][2] and move Falcon to the most recent version of Guava. This does require some refactoring - use CacheBuilder instead of MapMaker, apparently - that is beyond my capability to reliably execute. Any one of the compiler insiders brave or foolish enough to take this one? Pretty please?!?
