Re: Patch installation in GWT

GWT creates one monolithic file per browser (+ one file per split point living in a folder having the browser permutation name). If you change anything in a file all the permutation names change and you have redeploy everything.

The only way to patch a single module is if this single module is an app on its own having its own entry point. But if you divide your larger app into multiple smaller apps you have to download common library code (GWT lib, custom common libs, etc.) for each smaller app because this common library code can not be shared at JavaScript level (because GWT only creates a single file per browser).

If you want to pay this tradeoff then go ahead and make multiple apps. Some people have also used OSGI to manage these smaller apps along with a general app that build its menu based on the current active/deployed OSGI modules.
