Gwt 2.5 super dev mode takes to much time

[Filipe Sousa]

I'm trying it on a small project (300k LOC - 1033 java files + 367 ui files + 67 GWT-RPC services) and takes 539785 ms to compile every time I hit the compile button. The old dev mode takes less than 5s to refesh the page.

Only GWT-RPC and ClientBundle  are "incremental generators", so your 367 UiBinder templates are re-generated each time you compile the app.

This also affects DevMode, but then it only generates a template when its needed, whereas SuperDevMode recompiles the whole app each time.
