Hi Rauf, There are currently no plans to rewrite the GWT compiler as a native compiler. There are plans to speedup compilation time with the current GWT compiler, however, and the team is in the know about long compilation times that some developers have been experiencing when moving their projects form 1.4.x to 1.5.
The new multi-threaded compiler is available in trunk if you're interested in checking it out to see if it helps speed up your application compile time. >From benchmarks we've run and what some developers have been reporting, the new multi-threaded compilation has been showing significant improvements in compilation speed, so you should be getting faster results for your own project as well. Hope that helps, -Sumit Chandel On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 2:36 PM, Rauf Issa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Any plans to write a native GWT Compiler like jikes for java?
