Architecture #10127
Updated by François ARMAND about 7 years ago
The first reason is that scala 2.11 is EOL, so as for Java 8, better to the switch now toward a solution that will be supported for some time. time/ The second reason is that it leads to 25% (25Mo) decrease in war size (75Mo vs 96Mo - still huge, but better). (there is also a little better compilation time, not very significative, and I have just a couple of data point looking like: Scala 2.11: mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean install 591,72s user 7,99s system 340% cpu 2:55,92 total Scala 2.12: mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean install 568,38s user 4,80s system 349% cpu 2:43,78 total ) The last reason is that the migration is relatively easy. Three points to notice: - scala-actor is gone (see #10119) - lift "bind" is gone (so use CSS selectors) - lift-json JField aren't JValue anymore (so use json match { case JObject(JField(...)) } in place of json match { case JField(...) } )
