Re: gwt superdevmode revisited

Jens,

Is there some documentation available that explains how to convert a generator to an incremental one ? In my project we have a few of them so for the future it might be better that I migrate them.

Oh rats, I am using GIN as well, I guess I will have to wait/hope for an update there.

There is not much about what you can do. All GWT generators should be rewritten to support incremental code generation but currently only a handful does so. Also as soon as you use 3rd party libraries that use generators, like google-gin for example, they should be updated too.

What you can do on a new project is to split up your code into multiple smaller GWT modules with the goal that each module can run independently without the others. As an example:

- Base.gwt.xml: shared base code like your outer app ui

- Feature1.gwt.xml: contains all code for feature 1, inherits Base.gwt.xml

- Feature1App.gwt.xml: inherits Feature1 and provides an additional EntryPoint that setup Feature1 and make it useable/testable in the browser, e.g. the outer App UI including the Feature1 menu item.

- App.gwt.xml: inherits all features and setup the whole app.

Now when you use SDM with Feature1App.gwt.xml the compiler only needs to deal with your feature1 + base code which speeds up compilation. So as of today all you can do is to minimize the amount of code that needs to be compiled (or dont use any features that involve non-incremental generators)
