GPE & maven config updating

[branflake2267]

Just curious if you're pushing forward on this and if I should ask for tighter IDE integration?

[tbroyer]

I honestly have no idea what to do with Maven plugins. The more I read the CodeHaus plugin's code the more I think we should rewrite it from scratch; but this plugin's approach might not be the best either. I quite like what Buck does (on a suggestion by @skybrian; see facebook/buck#109), but there might be an impedance mismatch with Maven's way of working (on the other hand, that'd be not really different from what surefire/failsafe or even the maven-compiler-plugin are doing). See also https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MGWT-349#comment-353085 and #13

Note that I'm only talking here about the goals to compile and run the project, not the ones that generate gwt.xml files, or the way of bundling a mainModule manifest into JARs.

So, re. IDE integration, I'd wait a bit.

Sounds good, thanks for the update.

Just a note your plugin should integrate just fine sine the artifact names are the same and thats what the GPE and GWT Plugin fork are using. I can see your plugin has an advantage over the other maven plugin b/c it includes the lifecycle mapping. This is a annoying if someone puts the module the resources directory...
