Release of GWT 3.0 2.8 appears to be planned early may? 2015, which will provide support for Java 8.

Java 7 went EOL. I assume more people will start using 1.8 syntax. GWT 2.8 or 3.0 still not arrived! https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-web-toolkit/JHJybu-mluU

Hey! Hah, at work we're still in the process of migrating the test server infrastructure and updating it to run with java 8. Several weeks ahead of the EOL.

So, GWT are as bad as artemis-odb at releasing in a timely fashion. Still plowing unity land, thus artemis has been on hold for a while. Midway through de/serialization.

Appearantly still no release. 2.8.0-SNAPSHOT is out there.

https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/issues scares the living jeebies out of me.

Google does have a thing for randomly just giving up on stuff mere mortals thought were important to them.

Not very reassuring situation with GWT though.

re-opening this when GWT 3.0 is released (and works)

Static and default methods in interfaces aren’t visible to generators. If you want to take advantage of those Java-8isms, you’re encouraged to switch to an annotation processor. This could break existing build if an interface is changed to turn a non-default method into a default method.

meth meh...

Looks like they have BitSet and a few other classes properly supported now though.
