Re: [Gwt-openlayers-devl] Patch Review Request] Align pom.xml with GWT 1.5.3

[Edwin C. <com...@gm...>]

The reason to build against 1.4.60 is to ensure the build is backward
compatible with GWT 1.4.60 and up.

GWT 1.5 would allow enums and generics, which I personally would be much in
favor of. I also have some unit test code that I run under GWT 1.5 to use
the GWTTestSuite.

Personally I wouldn't mind dropping backward compatibality, since it is only
GUI code, so even if you're tied to 1.4 on the server the GUI can be
compiled against 1.5, but it can get confusing.

For me another reason to move to 1.5 is that I think web applications should
keep up with the latest versions of the GUI frameworks they are using, or
(as I have already experienced) they end up with old framework code where
you have to solve all the quirks that may pop up yourself and that can get
very nasty.

What do the others think?

Greetings,
Edwin
