updating scala-gwt

[lamvak]

Hi

Are there any plans for updating scala-gwt? Updating to new java (1.7, or at least 1.6), but more importantly perhaps, updating to cooperate with new eclipse (say, 4.2) and newer scala / GWT?

[lamvak]

So, no one interested?

I'm very interested in the status of scala-gwt as well.

I am interested in getting a recent build working in eclipse, which I think would be step 1 of what you are proposing.

Sorry for the lack of updates, but it looks like the existing
committers have been busy on other things lately.

It looks like no, no one is currently working on updating it for the
latest GWT and the latest Scala. That's just how it goes sometimes on
all-volunteer projects. Pull requests would be welcome....

Lex,

Any news on the changes going upstream to GWT?

Is the guide here:

up-to-date?

I believe so. If it's not, then we should update it and/or update it
to link to something newer.

As Glen mentioned, maybe the first step should be to make what is developed until now to work with the latest Eclipse versions. Using Eclipse 4.2, I tried the installation described in  http://scalagwt.github.com/ide/ and the forked "Scala IDE for Eclipse" can not be installed for what it seams a simple dependencies issue.

I can try to fix it, if I find in which repository to look.

[lamvak]

That would be awesome.

I'm not sure, either. It might be that Grzeg, or someone else, built
it by hand....

I have surveyed where we are. While volunteers would be welcome for
anything, my feel is that merging the GWT patch is the next major
milestone. As such, for anyone just looking for a way to volunteer,
work on the GWT patch would be most welcome.

Here are some specific things we need to do:

- Create a GWTTestCase that includes a .jribble file.
- Ppdate the patch to the latest version of GWT. We're currently using
a fork of GWT from at least five months ago.
- Make sure that non-draft compiles work.
- Make sure that super-dev mode works.

Am I missing anything for the GWT patch?

Again, volunteers for anything would be welcome. I just see the GWT
patch being the next big milestone.

That would be absolutely great!

The absence of an easily installable IDE solution is a huge roadblock for people wanting to try it (from my experience).

Seeing that the control of GWT was transferred to a multi-project/-corporation entity a few months ago, it might be a bit easier to get code merged than during Google's reign.

Yes, I believe it's up-to-date.

Yes, I built it by hand from this branch:

https://github.com/gkossakowski/scala-ide/commits/scalagwt

As you can see those commits that allowed me to build with our fork of Scala compiler where rather trivial. I don't know if that could be redone with recent version of Scala IDE. Let's discuss this in another thread I started.

I think this is accurate list. I can offer some help but my time is rather limited.

Also, we should update scala compiler fork. This would be a lot easier for me because I follow day-to-day development of Scala compiler. Still, we are 6 months behind so it would be fairly non-trivial undertake. I could look into it once RC1 of Scala 2.10 is out. Until then I'm busy with Scala compiler development.

Hi Grzegorz. Nice to read you again. I've seen a post from Martin Odersky recruiting people to work in compiler improvement, to support targets like JavaScript. Was he talking about GWT support?

Best regards.

I must have missed that post.

In any case I don't know about any decision yet. There have been many different efforts tackling JavaScript going on in Scala land. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages and I don't we've made up our mind on one them.

As mentioned before we are busy with getting 2.10 out now.
