Hi all,
I'm switching my code base from TeaVM to GWT+elemental for better Java8
support. It works fine, woehoe! Big thanks to GWT. Nice to be back, I've
worked professionally with GWT in 2010, unfortunately I haven't done any
GWT projects since.
However I ran the TeaVM compiler programmatically, and I don't succeed
running the GWT compiler like that. Now I create a Bladiebla.gwt.xml file,
run a process, delete the ..gwt.xml: works but is somewhat cumbersome. I
can't create a ModuleDef for my module:
<module rename-to='a'><inherits
name='elemental.Elemental'/><entry-point class='" + className + "'/><source
path=''/></module>
ModuleDef module = new ModuleDef("a");
// ?? module.addInherits??("elemental.Elemental"); // how to do this?
module.addEntryPointTypeName(className);
module.addResourcePath(""); // correct?
On a side-note: there are probably a 1000 reasons I don't know which are
the reason for these .gwt.xml files. but I do prefer the TeaVM approach,
where I only have to point out my entrypoint, and that's all, it only
compiles whatever code was called. No client/shared/server packages,
@GwtIgnore or .gwt.xml files. Might be something to consider, because I
guess it's faster to leave out never used classes and methods in the first
place. And more beautiful, although that's my opinion.
And now that I'm complaining: I'm missing a plane 'here is the
source-folder' argument for the compiler. Now I manually add src/main/java
to the existing classpath programatically, works fine, but then again this
might later be a reason why I can't succeed in a programmatical approach,
even if I simulate the ModuleDef correctly.
Super thanks!
Niels Gorisse
