Ok. In our project, we used to enable the closure compiler because the codebase is quite large, and closure compiler helped in reducing further the code size. I don't have the numbers at hand, but the full code size (including all split points) is about 2.8M, and closure compiler reduced some hundred kilobytes from it. > > >> Now the compiler no longer supports the old closure compiler option, but >> has a new -X[no]closureFormattedOutput option. >> > > It's not really new actually: > https://gwt.googlesource.com/gwt/+/6fa611cf9ad7ffa077a7378a100a7ccbd95e3cb3%5E%21/ > I have assumed it was new because it is not present as option in the gwt-maven-plugin (which is updated up to the beta1). > >> I'm guessing closure compiler is no longer integrated in GWT, but it >> still has the option to format for closure to a later (manual) usage of >> closure compiler. >> I'm using the gwt-maven-plugin, which still uses beta1, but explicitly >> changing its dependencies to 2.8.0-rc1 for gwt-user, gwt-dev and >> gwt-codeserver artifacts, making it usable already for rc1. >> I can't, however, pass the new option (I think there's no way to pass >> arbitrary compiler arguments with gwt-maven-plugin) until the maven plugin >> is updated. >> >> What are the new instructions to keep using closure compiler? >> > > There aren't (see comment about -XclosureFormattedOutput in the commit > message that introduced it) > Do you really *need* it? > I was assuming that flag was needed in order to generate code that complies with the closure compiler limitations (https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/docs/limitations). Maybe that is not the case and I can just invoke the closure compiler manually on the generated GWT code? Should I expect any runtime problems by doing this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Users" group.
