Few thing I would like to propose/request in upcoming release:
#1. Seamless hot deployment for any source code change(class signature
as well as stmt changes). So when the user refreshes the browser, js
compilation does not take place. it will just load whatever exists.
Hot deployment will make sure that whatever exists is always current.
I know this is difficult to achieve but if it is implemented, the
development time will be super super fast. We will basically have to
run the app in hosted mode browser only once. And all subsequent
changes will be auto deployed(synched) with the hosted mode. In big
applications like ours, almost every code change requires hosted mode
refresh. And in most cases it takes any where between 50 to 200 secs.
#2. If #1 is not possible: gwt should atleast detect the files that
were changed since app was last refreshed and attempt to compile load
only those changes.

Some how the compiler/loader/linker should be smart enough to the
level where hosted mode refresh is reduced to less than 7 seconds.

Really looking forward towards a super fast hosted mode.

Thanks,
Rakesh Wagh
