I have a GWT based application deployed on GAE for Java. I'm planning to try out GWT Polymer. GAE doesn't support JDK 8 as of now.

Does GWT Polymer require JDK 8 or would it work with JDK 7?

I cannot find this information on the project page.

As things are very fluid at this time, I suggest building the sample todolist app, enhancing it with your other dependencies, and confirming it working for your configuration.

FWIW, I just performed this exercise and ran into multiple frustrations forcing me to upgrade gwt to 2.8 SNAPSHOT which then requires Java 8. I then ran into a blocker with google-gin that I've posted to the google groups.

  • Thanks @Stevko. GWT Polymer requires GWT-2.8.0-SNAPSHOT (it's stated on their project page on GitHub) and that in turn requires Java 8. So, in essence, I cannot use GWT Polymer with GAE (which doesn't support Java 8) at the moment. Correct me if I'm wrong. – DFB Apr 01 '16 at 16:32

I'm using: GWT 2.8.0 beta 1, jdk level 1.7 (for GAE ), vaadin-gwt-polymer-elements-1.2.1.0.jar. All works fine.
