For #5, those of us in the Test Engineering field would appreciate it if you could put quotes around “demoted” as well.

Thanks

#5 could read “Incompetent programmers get demoted to QA; competent ones are promoted to be Managers”. LOL

@David Karnok

Do you actually know that they obfuscate it on purpose?T hat you are not supposed to debug it or at least use the PRETTY output option when invoking the compiler?

I have written a lot of GWT code and I never had to touch the compiled output ever. All I do is debug my java sources here and there using HostedMode and Eclipse

Actually, I do a lot of #10. GWT is ridiculously hard to debug – the generated client side javascript is horrible. I pretty much like JSP-s as they provide me Maximum Control. Who needs those fancy widgets anyway in the real industry?

Free and open source doesn’t prevent something from being absolutely AWFUL. (Like eclipse).

As long as the IDE is Eclipse, then no problem if you are locked into it. It’s free and open source!

We don’t meet ALL of those criteria, at least.

Wouldnt Maven actually solve the “cannot-build-without-my-IDE”-problem?

But I guess no tool can solve the problems that are in place when those conditions apply.

Surely there’s room on this list for Maven. Although I guess it could be covered by a couple of those.
