Hi Team,

(Apologies if the answers to my question are based on individuals opinion 
based, but i am in dire need of your help)

I am currently stuck with an old GWT 2.1.0 application written in Java 1.6 
which needs to be updated to java 1.8, so we are planning to upgrade to 
latest GWT version 2.9.0. There are no changes to the application code or 
any new enhancement request in last 5 years, considering this our client is 
expecting no changes to look and feel of the application but from the 
compliance perspective we are required to upgrade to at least Java 1.8.

But i have no experience and never used GWT, and there are very few guides 
out there on upgrade from 2.1.0 to 2.9.0 (I know its a big jump). Can 
someone help me understand, how to start the upgrade process, and how much 
code changes would i need to make the application compatible with the new 
version, will it be complete re-wright of the UI component of the 
application? or will it be minor changes to existing code ? Finally, if the 
upgrade requires complete re writing of UI component, is it worth it for me 
to lean GWT (considering recent slow down in upgrades to GWT) and uses it 
in the upgrade instead of complete rewrite of UI in React. 

Thanks in advance.
