I can see why you would be frustrated ... and the GWT documentation is not particularly good. For us superdev+browser debugging mode "just works" as long as you do not change the linker. We don't have a massive app (~700K lines of client-side java source code across 37 directory trees + lots

Well, let's name few problems here: 1) Source maps: I don't know why, but Chrome can't find them. I've tried everything (I swear, I followed step by step every tutorial in earth - it just wont work. It may be because our folder structure that is bit more complex than those simple examples). 2)

Debugging of both the server and client code works great. I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you. Client side debugging is done in the browser console using source maps that are automatically generated by the GWT compiler. On Saturday, June 1, 2019 at 3:22:09 PM UTC-7, Edson Richter wrote: >

GWT is not dead! It's simply suffering from PR misunderstanding. People think that you have to use the old widget system to use GWT, but you don't. Just use Elemento instead of widgets and REST calls instead of RPC. Regardless of what happens with GWT 3, using GWT 2.8 is future proof since it

Even though it is still working for us SDM works perfectly in large projects long as your code isnt really too coupled, and regarding RPC you might take a look here https://www.slideshare.net/gwtcon/in-defense-of-gwtrpc-by-colin-alworth/ currently i am using domino-rest

Out of curiosity, what would prevent someone still build projects based on current GWT 2.8.2 and keep using all the goodies? I think as of 2.8.2 it is future proof especially with a shift to jsinteop included in current release version? People even with current version took their own path and

Yep. Seems dead since we could not debug anymore. Superserver never worked - and previous "classical" debug stopped working. Even Google is migrating projects out of gwt. Rpc is a nightmare in large apps. So we are hiring developers to rewrite ui into Angular2+. Hoping for a better future. Just

Ideally, twice yearly release of "stable", with most recent appropriate patches applied, such as "2.201904" and "2.201910" or similar tagged releases would definitely help there. On 5/30/19 3:33 PM, Bob Lacatena wrote: I just posted this elsewhere, but as this thread has more current

It would be good to have an approximate public release window for GWT 3.0 from the community. Will it happen in 2019? Also any plans to move release cadence for GWT to match Java’s 6-monthly cycles? -Nick > On 30 May 2019, at 10:54, Craig Mitchell wrote: > > Also, see here for more comments:

hi guys, i don't see or hear much about GWT. Google has also come up with Flutter which I believe would compete with React. With all these new frameworks coming up and for which the community seems quite active, is GWT still alive? Is there any plan to release any new versions of GWT? thanks!
