Re: Exception reporting is broken in GWT: would you support a kickstarter project to fix it?
I'd like to ask, however, the reasons for planning to remove support for IE6/7/8? Why would we do that? To simplify the code base and moving on (HTML 5) I would say. JQuery for example already did that transition. JQuery 2.0 does not support IE6-8 anymore but they still maintain JQuery 1.9.x for people that still need IE6-8 browser support. In terms of GWT you can still use the last version that supports IE6-8 and then decide yourself when its time to move to a newer GWT version for your site. -- J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Re: Exception reporting is broken in GWT: would you support a kickstarter project to fix it?
Fair enough, but I'm curious to know why leaving the code that supports legacy browsers would interfere with implementing new features. For example, if you want to implement a new widget called XPanel, it think it's perfectly fine to say that this widget doesn't support IE6/7/8, and leave it up to userland to chose whether to use the new widget and how to work around it for new browsers. Do you have a specific example? I'm curious.

Re: Exception reporting is broken in GWT: would you support a kickstarter project to fix it?
Do you have a specific example? I'm curious. Existing widgets should also work great on mobile devices, its not just about writing new widgets. Its also not just about widgets in general. For example there is currently an issue in GWT-RPC where only IE9 has a memory leak because GWT-RPC uses eval() to parse the server response and IE9 keeps everything eval'd in memory. Slightly changing the server code and switching to JSON.parse() on the client would solve the problem, but IE6/7 do not support JSON.parse(). So to fix this issue for IE9 the server serialization needs to figure out which IE version is talking to the server and then generate different responses (either JS or JSON). Targeting different browsers on client side is easy (deferred binding) but this time the server must target different browser versions as well. So its more complicated than it could be. https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=5736 https://gwt-review.googlesource.com/#/c/2900/ I think thats a good example where IE6/7 support costs more development resources although you know that IE6/7 doesn't really play a big role anymore. Microsoft recommends to not use them anymore and 2014 they will stop supporting IE6-8 as Windows XP extended support ends in April 2014. So would you invest a lot of work today in supporting browsers whose support officially ends in less than a year? Probably not. Its a good time now to slowly phasing out IE6/7 and later IE 8 support. -- J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Exception reporting is broken in GWT: would you support a kickstarter project to fix it?
One of the big problems with deployed GWT apps has always been the impossibility of tracing JavaScript exceptions back to the Java source code. What we need is a true equivalent of Java stack traces. There was an effort made by the GWT team a couple years ago to solve this problem ( https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/WebModeExceptions ), and it was a good start, but unfortunately they gave up without producing an adequate solution. If you've ever tried to use the compiler.emulatedStack.recordLineNumbers setting, you know that it is badly broken: the line numbers and file names reported in the stack traces are incorrect most of the time, while the the resulting compiled JavaScript is 70-90% larger than the original. The way this feature is currently implemented, the compiler puts instrumentations in the wrong places most of the time, doesn't do enough to optimize for code size, and does not provide enough information via symbol maps for StackTraceDeobfuscator. On Chrome, theoretically we could use compiler.useSourceMaps instead, but that feature is badly broken too. I have spent the last 2 months working on this problem full time, and I almost have the perfect solution ready. But I'm an indie developer, and I can't really afford to go unpaid much longer, because I've already put business aside for two months to work on this (originally I thought it would take a week, but I kept finding more and more bugs and tricky problems to solve, which is why I'm guessing the original developers gave up on seeing this project through to fruition). If I started a crowdfunding campaign to help me fund this work to completion, would you or your employer be willing to contribute? The original Google Atlanta team did an amazing job developing GWT for 10+ years, but those guys are all gone, and Google has not had a dedicated team working on GWT since last summer, so I think it will be up to the user community to fund its future development from now on. My goal is perfect JavaScript stack traces with exact Java line numbers, with only a 50-60% output size increase and similar performance metrics. For browsers that support sourcemaps (only Chrome for now), there will be no output size increase at all, because I intend to fix all the bugs associated with the compiler.useSourceMaps feature as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

I dont think you will get paid for it, because: 1.) Its somewhat not in the spirit of open source software 2.) Your patch must go through review and there is no guarantee that it will be committed 3.) GWT will remove IE6/7 support soon and probably in 2014 also IE8 support. Also Opera moves to WebKit. That means that there is probably no need for StackTrace emulation anymore in the near future as modern browsers provide the relevant information. -- J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Re: Exception reporting is broken in GWT: would you support a kickstarter project to fix it?
Correction: when I said that a browser needs to support sourcemaps to generate accurate stack traces, that wasn't entirely accurate. What a browser needs to support is the stack property of exception objects, which provides a JavaScript stack trace with both line and column numbers. It's the GWT compiler that uses a sourcemap to derive original Java line numbers and filenames from the browser-provided line and column numbers. This functionality is currently broken in GWT, however, and Chrome is currently the only browser that provides column numbers. And even if more browsers add column info in the future, it's almost certain that their stack trace formats will all be different, so we'll have to patch GWT every time a new browser adds the support. My proposed project will leave us in good shape to be able to do that easily. On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 5:53 PM, Alex Epshteyn alexander.epsht...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for your comment.
