GWT 2.8.1 opera support

We have a running application written on GWT 2.4 with opera (Opera 11.64 Build 1403 for Linux i386) integrated. Now we are thinking to upgrade our application to use GWT 2.8.1.

But it doesn't seem to work with the opera version I have mentioned. Is there any workaround to solve this problem?

Solution

  • Opera 11 uses Presto layout engine (doc).

    GWT FAQ page, updated 31 jul 2016 says (page here):

    What browsers does GWT support?

    GWT supports the following browsers:

    Firefox
Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10, 11
Safari 5, 6
Chromium and Google Chrome
Opera latest version

    That said the answer is: maybe, if you are lucky.

    I strongly suggest you to use a newer browser, you will have better performances and a more secure environment.

    Also if you want to update consider that GWT 2.8.2 will be available soon with Java 9 support.
