OK, one more thing on GWT 1.5: additions to JRE emulation. If you’ve tried to port some existing Java code into the client, you really feel the absence of some of these. It’s still painful, but every bit helps.
New JRE Classes
- StringBuilder
- java.sql.Date
- java.sql.Time
- java.sql.Timestamp
- Enum
- EnumSet
- EnumMap
- PriorityQueue
- LinkedHashMap
- TreeMap
- TreeSet
New methods on existing JRE classes
- Object.getClass()
- Class.getName()
- Integer.bitCount()
- Several additional methods on Class, String and Character
