Does GWT reuse Google Closure Compiler, and why if not?


Google Web Toolkit (GWT) performs inlining of javascript code, minifying and removing unused code, and some other optimizations which are also done by Google Closure Compiler. So I was wondering if Closure Compiler is in fact utilized in GWT or do they have two separate implementations? If so, then what is the restriction/reasoning for not reusing Google Closure Compiler in GWT?


Solution

  • Commit 10778: Closure JS hookup hooks GWT to the closure compiler.

    Probably with GWT 2.5, at least behind the scenes, GWT may use the closure compiler.


    Update

    Closure Support has been removed
