Multiplatform
Open Eggbert is multiplatform (desktop, Android, web).
- We should assure continuously, that the latest version (snapshot) runs correctly on all the 3 supported platforms.
This means some limitations like:
- Method String.lines(String string) is not present in GWT.
- How to fix: Use method OpenEggbertUtils.lines(String string)
- Method Stream.toList() is not present in GWT
- How to fix: Use Stream.collect(Collectors.toList())
