Description of problem: The current application setting for GWT compiles is "DETAILED" which produces a verbose version of the application javascript. Switching to OBF style will produce much more optimized code shrinking variable and method names as well as stripping out any unused code. It will make the application snappier as the amount of javascript needed to parse and take of memory will decrease substantially. GWT style compile flag : Uncompressed (Mb) : Compressed (Mb) DETAILED 29.28 1.9 OBF 2.8 0.685 The reduced applicaiton size will take up much memory in the browser and also save on startup time as it is less javascript text to parse as well as reducing the amount of javascript to compress and uncompress on the server. A 2Mb piece of javascript will compress much faster than a 29Mb piece. It is unknown what impact on the Sahi UI tests. We might need to build one version of the application for testing and one for production deployment (or all the tests might still run normally). To Fix this: We just need to set the gwt compiler option to OBF: -style Script output style: OBF[USCATED], PRETTY, or DETAILED (defaults to OBF)
Can't hurt to try it, its a simple change to revert.
I have changed the flag to OBF. This should speed things up considerably as the size is now 675k. We should pay particular attention to the Sahi testing now to make sure it didn't break anything there. Commit ID: e639401baf7a453b06b336aa95de955596ee12e1
Bulk closing of items that are on_qa and in old RHQ releases, which are out for a long time and where the issue has not been re-opened since.
