During development, you can reduce the time to compile greatly, 1/32 I guess since there are 32 permutations. Please read this, Can I speed up the GWT compiler? - GWT Project<http://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/FAQ_DebuggingAndCompiling.html#Can_I_speed_up_the_GWT_compiler?>. Please pay special attention to the following.
- *Use <set-property> in the HelloFirefox module that explicitly sets a value for the user.agent client property. (See <define-property> in UserAgent.gwt.xml for the possible values.)* - *You can do the same thing for locale or any other client property. * On Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 3:59 AM, Yuri Z <vega...@gmail.com> wrote: > We have 32 GWT permutations the moment, we used to have only 4...
