2.8.0-beta1 SDM not always detecting changes properly

[stuckagain]

I have been using 2.8.0-beta1 in combination with Thomas Broyer's maven plugin for a week now.

When I run the codeserver and make changes a reload of the browser does not always include the last changes that I made.

At the start it seems to work fine but then after a few code changes and refreshes it stops working.

If I just stop de codeserver and restart it then suddenly the changes are available.

Could you share the gwt-maven-plugin configuration? 

[David]

This is the maven config from the root maven project:

<build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>net.ltgt.gwt.maven</groupId>
                <artifactId>gwt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <inherited>false</inherited>
                <configuration>
                    <launcherDir>${project.build.directory}/gwt/launcherDir</launcherDir>
                    <jvmArgs>
                        <jvmArg>-Xms512m</jvmArg>
                        <jvmArg>-Xmx2048m</jvmArg>
                    </jvmArgs>
                    <logLevel>INFO</logLevel>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
        <pluginManagement>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>3.3</version>
                    <configuration>

                    </configuration>
                </plugin>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>net.ltgt.gwt.maven</groupId>
                    <artifactId>gwt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>1.0-rc-4</version>
                    <extensions>true</extensions>
                    <configuration>
                        <sourceLevel>1.7</sourceLevel>
                        <failOnError>true</failOnError>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>
                <plugin>
                    <artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>2.4</version>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
                            <id>attach-sources</id>
                            <phase>package</phase>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>jar-no-fork</goal>
                            </goals>

                    <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>2.2</version>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </pluginManagement>
    </build>

The editor-client projects has the following plugin config:

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>net.ltgt.gwt.maven</groupId>
                <artifactId>gwt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <moduleName>com.acme.cloud.ui.demo.Demo</moduleName>
                    <moduleShortName>Demo</moduleShortName>
                    <skipModule>true</skipModule>
                    <jvmArgs>
                        <jvmArg>-Xms512m</jvmArg>
                        <jvmArg>-Xmx2048m</jvmArg>
                    </jvmArgs>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

On Mac OS we use the system property -Dgwt.watchFileChanges=false when starting SDM. With the property set to false I think it does a file scan instead of using some watch service. Somehow watching file changes did not work well on Mac OS.

Not sure if that property still exists in GWT 2.8 beta as we use some GWT snapshot build thats in between 2.7 and 2.8 beta releases.

Property still exists, see: https://gwt.googlesource.com/gwt/+/master/dev/core/src/com/google/gwt/dev/resource/impl/ResourceAccumulator.java

I tried to use it... the effect is even worse: changes are never seen. I must be missing something obvious ?
