Elemento 1.0.0 introduces many breaking changes:

Naming

The maven coordinates, GWT module and the packages have changed.

Maven

Please use the following maven coordinates:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.elemento</groupId>
    <artifactId>elemento-core</artifactId>
</dependency>

GWT module

Inherit this GWT module:

<module>
    <inherits name="org.jboss.elemento.Core"/>
</module>

Packages

The packages have been flattened and renamed. All Elemento classes are now in the package org.jboss.elemento.

J2CL / GWT3

Elemento works with both J2CL and GWT. No classes from com.google are used. The only dependencies you'll need are:

• com.google.elemental2:elemental2-core version 1.1.0
• com.google.elemental2:elemental2-dom version 1.1.0
• com.google.elemental2:elemental2-webstorage version 1.1.0
• org.gwtproject.event:gwt-event version 1.0.0-RC1 and
• org.gwtproject.safehtml:gwt-safehtml version 1.0.0-RC1

You can use Elemento with GWT 2.8, 2.9 or J2CL. See the samples for more details about how to setup your dependencies.

Templating

The templating part has been moved to crysknife. Crysknife is a CDI implementation for J2CL / GWT3. Crysknife already contains most of the templating code of Elemento, integrates nicely with CDI and offers some extra features like GSS support on top of that.

The motivation behind this is that we don't want to have two very similar and competing template solutions.

Deprecations

All classes and methods marked as @deprecated have been removed:

Classes

• org.jboss.gwt.elemento.core.Widgets
• org.jboss.gwt.elemento.core.HasElements

Methods

• org.jboss.gwt.elemento.core.builder.ElementsBuilder.get()
• org.jboss.gwt.elemento.core.builder.ElementsBuilder.css(String, boolean)
• org.jboss.gwt.elemento.core.builder.HtmlContent.addAll(HasElements)
• org.jboss.gwt.elemento.core.LazyElement.asElement()
• org.jboss.gwt.elemento.core.Elements.elements()

Backward Compatibility

Support for GWT widgets as defined by com.google.gwt:gwt-user has been dropped. If you really need support for widgets, you have to stick with the latest 0.9.x-gwt2 version.
