a. The final product should only contain what is actually used in the final module being compiled. However, I think you may experience longer compilation times if there is a lot of code not being used. I've heard stories of people seeing huge differences in compilation when inheriting incubator modules even when only using one or two classes.
b. It might make sense. On the other hand, if you stay in you're application after registration/login, you're going to need that other code eventually. If that's the case, you should look into code splitting with GWT.runAsync(). It's pretty straightforward, and the SOYC report will give you an idea of how effective your code splitting is. -Brian On Sun, Sep 19, 2010 at 1:37 PM, har_shan <[email protected]> wrote: > Am starting a new GWT based project (and quite new to it) and > currently looking for ways to organize multiple projects (aka modules) > better (from js code size download perspective). > > If a module A depends on module B (of course, i have to inherit it) > and if module A is gonna use only very limited client classes in > module B, > a.
