We have successfully updated a big ERP application. First of all, we have changed the GWT version to a new version. After that, we have fixed all the errors. I don't remember all the steps, because It was years ago. Some methods were removed on GXT 2.3.1.a, for example the ContentPanel.setHeading. In our case, the migration was easy because We never use the GXT components directly. At the project beginning, We have extended all the GXT components, and We have been using the extended components in our code. We have recreated the removed methods in our classes and overload them with the replacement method. We have made the changes in XImages to extend ClientBundle, as described in my last message too. The app has been working for years with these changes.
I believe the major big step is to try to change the GWT version to evaluate the impact.
