Excellent - reach out in https://gitter.im/gwtproject/gwt,

I know replacing generators is to long on my todo list and it always was 
postponed because something else was more important. In June I'm three weeks 
on vacation and it's on first place of my todo list for this time.

Re: [gwt-contrib] Testing GWT 2.9.0 for release

[Colin Alworth]

Update on the broken samples in the gwt distribution:

The issue is some kind of interaction between Java 8 and ant - when a URL 
is read from the classloader for a directory within a jar, it had a 
trailing slash. When running the GWT webappcreator from command line, this 
didn't happen, when running within ant in Java 7 this didn't happen.

The patch is up as https://gwt-review.googlesource.com/c/gwt/+/22320.

An alternative fix could be to normalize those paths inside the 
WebAppCreator and remove trailing slashes - we experimented with that at 
first, but once we discovered that it was ant's classloader which was 
causing this and _not_ just Java 8, it made more sense to fork the task. 
This also brings the WebAppCreator task in line with all other  tasks 
in the ant build.

I verified GWT 2.9.0-RC1 in one of my applications without issues. The
tests I could not complete due an ant issues to build the samples.

Re: [gwt-contrib] Testing GWT 2.9.0 for release

[Colin Alworth]

We're having an issue related to the java7->java8 update, the build isn't 
properly including the full sources for the included sample projects. By 
itself, not a big deal, but it could imply that other assumptions of the 
ant build are broken too. I'm looking into it, we'll have an updated 
release candidate when we figure it out.

https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/issues/9682: The 2.9 candidate was cut 
before the java.io changes came in, so this will not be included in the 
first 2.9 at least, though will likely show up later (See the 4th point in 
this email).

Removing validation: as a rule, the main GWT project rarely, if ever, 
removes anything within a major release. This is very deliberate, so that 
updating to the latest release (to fix security issues, to support 
newer/changing/breaking browsers, improve performance) is accessible to 
stable projects in maintenance mode, with no surprises. Since gwt-dev and 
gwt-user are strongly tied to each other, it isn't feasible to even suggest 
that someone update part of their project, but continue to use older jars 
(such as updating the compiler to fix some issue, but still keeping an old 
gwt-user so that the now-deprecated validation doesn't change or 
disappear). This is why each module that is being broken out will now live 
in its own git repo, own jar, and be versioned separately from the others. 
My best guess here is that we can try for a "minimal gwt-user" which just 
has enough to let the compiler work, and assume that developers switch to 
the org.gwtproject modules that they want, plus anything thirdparty like 
validation. That said, validation is basically the only thing that _isn't_ 
ready for j2cl, and there is a small gwt-validation project that has gotten 
started that is compatible with both gwt2 and j2cl - do you have plans to 
finish https://gitlab.com/ManfredTremmel/gwt-bean-validators/-/issues/3? 
Both topics (further modularizing gwt-user, and apt for validation) are 
probably better discussed in another thread, or in gitter.

Re: [gwt-contrib] Testing GWT 2.9.0 for release

[Manfred Tremmel]

Hi Colin,

I've build and tested my libs and GWT-Applications this weekend against GWT 
2.9.0-rc1 and elemental2 1.0.0. The good news is, everything compiled and 
workes. I'm happy, to switch elemental2 form 1.0.0-RC1 to 1.0.0, which fixes 
some problems I had in the past, so I can remove some JSNI Workarounds.

System: Debian GNU/Linux 10 with openJDK 11. For years, I don't use browser 
specific permutations, only the "safari". Tested Browsers: Chromium and 
Firefox.

What's the timeline for removing bean validation out of gwt-user package, it's 
nearly four years, since it was deprecated and it's still a hack to get gwt-
bean-validators as replacement into the projects (dependency suppressions, 
correct inherit order, supersource replacements of existing gwt classes).

Manfred
