Re: [gwt-contrib] GWT 3 Build System
As a side note: We had a discussion to make j2cl be able to compile itself to JavaScript. If that is actually done you can easily integrate with all kinds of JavaScript build tools.

Re: [gwt-contrib] GWT 3 Build System
I assume j2cl means java-to-closure-script-compiler, which will be the heart of GWT 3, is that right ? Very good news ! This way GWT will be available for standard and cool web build systems... Great ! GWT downloadable as a npm package would be cool in fact... Did you evaluate gulp in your study ?

[gwt-contrib] GWT 3 Build System
Gradle 2.5 will come with continuous build too (watch files, recompile incrementally on change -- and run tests I suppose, or restart running app); similar to what SBT has had for years now (but indescribably sluggish). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups GWT Contributors group.

Re: [gwt-contrib] GWT 3 Build System
One other thing: It won't matter which system we use to build the new compiler. Google internal we always use our own build system and since its very close to bazel it should work fine with bazel. If you want some kind of other integration with other build systems you can easily build them since the compiler will just be a taken the same arguments as javac anyway.

Re: [gwt-contrib] GWT 3 Build System
Ok great ! True that Google will always have the master hand over GWT, fair because code is committed by almost only google people ! Community has to keep that in mind.
