The -style argument was there because you could call the Compiler from within the DevMode (by the click of a button); and because this has been removed, there's no reason to keep the -style argument.

Either you run in DevMode, and your Java code runs in a JVM, only minimal JS involved (but not much things to debug); or you compile to JS (possibly passing -style PRETTY) and run in what's known as "production mode" (pure JS, no plugin in the browser, no Java involved). > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
