Michael Borcherds commented on MATH-1406:
-----------------------------------------

Just tried RNG 1.0, it already compiles fine with GWT 2.8.0 (no problems with 
FastMath, ClassCastException or clone())

The 3 major changes needed to apache math are:
* remove reliance on ClassCastException (obvious and uncontroversial)
* remove FastMath and rely on native implementations (less code to maintain so 
also good in my view) 
* add implementations to replace clone() everywhere (a bit boring to do, would 
need testing)

I'm able and willing to help with any of that, just decide what you would like 
:)

> official support for compiling on GWT 2.8

> Context: at the moment Apache Commons Math can't be compiled using GWT (to 
> allow it to be made into a JavaScript library for example)
> http://www.gwtproject.org/
> Is there any interest in allowing Apache Commons Math to be officially 
> supported on GWT?
> With GWT 2.8.0 the changes needed aren't too hard to get most of it to compile
