GWT 2.8.0 RC1 发布了，Google 网页工具包----GWT 提供了一组基于Java语言的开发包，这个开发包的设计参考Java AWT包设计，类命名规则、接口设计、事件监听等都和AWT非常类似。熟悉Java AWT的开发者不需要花费多大的力气就能够快速的理解GWT开发工具包，将更多地时间投入到GWT应用的开发过程中。
一些提升：
Partial support for Java 8 standard library APIs (see below for full list).
Fix memory leak with Java 8 compilation.
Source level set to Java 8.
Static and default methods in interfaces aren’t visible to generators. If you want to take advantage of those Java-8isms, you’re encouraged to switch to an annotation processor. This could break existing build if an interface is changed to turn a non-default method into a default method.
编译器改进：
Update JS reserved keywords to ES6.
Fix instanceof for primitives & string.
Make exceptions work across Java/JavaScript boundary
Allow casting native arrays to Object[].
Use patched JDT to circumvent memory leak when compiling for Java 8.
