The size of my web app directory under the "war" file that contains
the generated JavaScript files was 2 MB when I was using the GWT
version 2.0, but recently increased to 12 MB when I switched to GWT
version 2.4.

The only external module that I included is local storage library (gwt-
html5-storage.jar) that was necessary in order to get the Local
Storage working with ie8. The rest is the standard GWT 2.4 stuff.

Am I doing something wrong, or is it normal with GWT 2.4?

Is there any way of reducing the size of this web app directory as I
am not using any of the remote RPC or serialization modules?

In gwt 2.4.0 is having more additional functionality. Gwt 2.0 had gwt-
dev.jar, gwt-servlet.jar, gwt-user.jar, gwt-api-checker.jar, gwt-soyc-
vis.jar, gwt-servlet-deps.jar only. But gwt 2.4.0 is having more
number of jars ( mainly requestfactory jars ).

Don't worry. It's because of the additional jars.

Thanks

Thanks a lot guys, much appreciated.

Does that size have any direct effect on the initial load up time of
my application though, if you excuse my ignorance?

Check the WEB-INF/deploy subfolder. If you don't care about remote logging (client sending logs to server) and stack-trace deobfuscation, you can safely delete it altogether.

...and you can pass the -deploy option to the compiler to output the files elsewhere.
