I believe Google builds applications that use Elemental and/or JsInterop, so they don't use c.g.g.dom.DOM or any other thing that inherits UserAgent. Goktug also pointed out earlier in this thread "cross-compiled apps" where the UI is built with Closure Library. I suspect this might be the case of Google Drive (Spreadsheets) where GWT is only used to compile to JS those bits of Java that are shared with the server, Android app and iOS app (through J2ObjC); from what I understood, in Spreadsheets that would be the code necessary to parse and evaluate formulas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Contributors" group.
