[ovirt-devel] Fedora 22

Hi guys,

AFAIK, latest Firefox version which can be used for GWT debugging
(using GWT developer browser plugin based on NPAPI) is Firefox 26.
For more details, see [1].

You can have multiple Firefox installations, e.g. download FF 26
(for GWT debug purposes), close all Firefox instances, run your
"default" Firefox as:

  $ ./path/to/default/firefox -profilemanager

create new profile to be used by FF 26 (e.g. "GWT-Debug"), from
this point on, you can launch FF 26 alongside your "default" FF
instance (so you can have multiple Firefox instances running at
the same time) as following:

  $ ./path/to/older/firefox -P "GWT-Debug" -no-remote

For more details, see [2].

Firefox profiles are typically at ~/.mozilla/firefox.

Browser plugin based (classic) GWT debugging is what we use now.

Recently, GWT promoted "Super Dev Mode" [3] as the next-gen debug
process. In a nutshell, instead of GWT/Java code being evaluated
and debugged outside the browser's JavaScript context, it will be
(re)compiled on-the-fly to JS and debugged right in the browser.

We tried to use GWT "Super Dev Mode" in past [4] but faced issues
seemingly related to GWT's direct-eval RPC implementation.
