Yes, you're right - that's what I was referring to when I said "any types that can be passed across the wire over RPC". > > > I guess the plugin would rather have to interpret the non-client > classes and bring in any dependency found in the GWT client packages > (this would include the RPC "sync" interfaces for instance and "any > types that can be passed across the wire over RPC"). > Much more difficult than "interpret[ing] GWT's module information"... Yes, you are right - I was summarizing when I said "Interpret GWT's module information". What I meant is that at the least, we'd have to analyze GWT modules, which we do not do now. The problem with analyzing the non-client classes is that you can never be sure classes in the GWT client packages will be referenced, due to reflection. In order to solve this problem, we may have to add some more information to GWT modules so that "shared" code can be called out explicitly. > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
