Hi, Even though most people have moved to Java 7 already there is still some interest in using Java 6. As this closure compiler version would be the sole reason for requiring Java 7, I would be interested in putting in some effort to see if we can get the lastest closure compiler backported to Java 6. This would keep GWT 2.x compatible with Java 6 and leave the breaking change for GWT 3.x.
Daniel, are you looking to use the latest master or v20140814? - Artur On Thursday, September 11, 2014 8:50:53 PM UTC+3, Daniel Kurka wrote: > > Hi all, > > while bringing GSS support into GWT, I discovered that the closure > styleheets compiler actually requires Java7. > This means that we either have to do a back port of the compiler (I > haven't looked at it seriously) or require Java7 for development with GWT > (probably only if you are using CssResource). > > I really like your input on this and if I do not hear any strong > objections, I will go ahead with using the Java7 version of closure > stylesheets and thus we will require Java7 for GWT development. > > Note: This does not impact deployment of any GWT apps.
