Re: [Engine-devel] GWT 2.4.0 and the oVirt Engine
Hi Itamar,
In short, yes.
Technically, GWTP 0.7 should work with GWT 2.3 - GWTP migration wiki doesn't mention
this explicitly.
Practically, GWTP 0.7 is built against GWT 2.4 - see "gwt.version" definition in
[http://code.google.com/p/gwt-platform/source/browse/pom.xml?name=gwtp-0.7]
3. follow GWTP 0.7 migration steps
<http://code.google.com/p/gwt-platform/wiki/PortingV1#V0.7>;, which will
most likely involve UI code changes
can these be backward compatible with gwt 2.3? > 5. adjust UI code regarding GWT Editor framework, which is now
capable

is this 2.3 compatible?
is it a must step or optional?
Step 5 is not compatible with GWT 2.3. It represents a bugfix that is shipped in GWT 2.4.
Steps 4 and 5 are optional (cleanup-like), but should be done in long-term.
6. test thoroughly webadmin and user portal behave correctly...
Fully agreed.

For all steps mentioned above, I'm planning to make a patch, since step
(3) requires deeper knowledge of GWTP/WebAdmin code.
In addition, here are the extra steps to finalize the migration (these
items are relevant long-term, can be skipped for now):
4. remove HTML5 drag'n'drop classes (originally copied from GWT 2.4
trunk) by removing following WebAdmin packages:
* com.google.gwt.dom.client
* com.google.gwt.event.dom.client
5. adjust UI code regarding GWT Editor framework, which is now capable
of handling primitive boolean is/has getter methods
<http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=6040>
is this 2.3 compatible?
