[Hrishikesh Joshi]

Hi Team,

When will GWT 3.0/ GWT2.9 will start that will support Java 10 version?

Are there plans to drop GWT-RPC in these versions?

Thanks,

GWT 2.9 is already started, you can check it out at current master - you
can see the commits and even build it yourself at
https://gwt.googlesource.com/gwt/+/master/, or get a nightly build from
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/google/ (i.e. the latest
build at
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/google/com/google/gwt/gwt-user/HEAD-SNAPSHOT/
for gwt-user is dated July 3).

Current trunk has some support for Java 10 language features, but until a
more stable JDT is released, there will likely be bugs. See
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/google-web-toolkit-contributors/DiGNHTKKe6Y/discussion
for more discussion on this.

There is no plan to remove GWT-RPC from GWT 2.x. Work is tentatively
proceeding to include a RPC-like mechanism with both GWT2 and GWT3 support,
but it isn't clear if this would be an "official" part of GWT, or how
exactly it will follow existing GWT-RPC semantics.
