There are number of important changes in this GWT release:
1. HtmlUnit, Jetty and their dependencies upgrade: [1],[2],[3]
2. Unbundled most dependencies from GWT Maven artifacts
With 1. we can remove patched WebServer fork from GWT project, that
was needed to adapt to Jetty 9 version. With 2. we don't need to
strip Jetty classes from gwt-dev artifact any more to avoid classpath
collisions (we wouldn't get classpath collisions to start with because
of 1.). However, because of 2. we need to add quite some dependencies
that we got for granted in gwt-dev in early GWT releases on our own:
* Apache Ant, Apache 2.0 License
* Apache Tapestry, Apache 2.0 License
* CERN colt, CERN own or LGPL License
* Google JS Interop annotations, Apache 2.0 License
* W3C CSS sac library, License W3C IPR SOFTWARE NOTICE
According to the release notes: [4].
Double/Boolean are not boxed anymore
That leads to the NPE when such method:
void showLineEndings(boolean s);
is used with null value:
p.showLineEndings(in.showLineEndings);
where in.showLineEndings is null. Adapt the code to accept
Boolean instead.
gwtjsonrpc is updated to version 1.10 which is built for GWT 2.8.0-rc2.
TEST PLAN:
* Verified that daemon works
* Verified that SDM works
