Github show is a (final) 2.8 release (17 days ago) https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/releases/tag/2.8.0
Why is nobody talking about?

The release is 2 days old (yes it's already on maven central) and will likely be announced once release notes are merged and uploaded.

Github just says it's 17 days ago because the commit that has been tagged is 17 days old.

Hi,

Maven plugin isn't there: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.codehaus.mojo/gwt-maven-plugin

Has anyone know what is needed to trigger maven plugin ?

Thanks

Waiting for release notes and a few documentation updates before making an official announcement.

I just sent the announcement to gwt-users that its now final, the reason you could see the tag is that I pushed this as part of our release process.

The reason the tag is 17 days old is that its identical with that commit (we have not changed GWT), traditionally we just turn the RC into the final release.

Hi,

Thanks for this, really happy to have it around.

We were using 2.8.0-beta1 version for a while without any major fuss.

While upgrading to 2.8.0 released version, we get stuck with codeserver refused to start because of class loading issues.

Here are the changes which we had to made.

<dependency>
    <groupId>xml-apis</groupId>
    <artifactId>xml-apis</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.01</version>
</dependency>

<!-- Only the exclusion part>

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
    <artifactId>gwt-dev</artifactId>
    <version>${com.google.gwt.version}</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
            <artifactId>apache-jsp</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

Compilation and tomcat startup went well without any real issues. 

Here is a exception which we are facing when running codeserver.

I've attached my WEB-IN/lib directory structure with beta version build and released version of 2.8.0 build. The jetty version with 2.8.0 release is jetty-util-9.2.14.v20151106.jar which 
doesn't have AggregateLifeCycle class. 


Any suggestions are welcome. Looking forward. Thanks.

PS. I can share more details if required.
