trouble with annotations and gwt-maven-plugin

I'm working on my first project to combine maven with Google Web Toolkit. In an attempt to use google-gin and its annotation, I ran into some compile time problems because the gwt:compile was running before javac had not compiled the annotations into .class files.

I don't have an elegant workaround just yet but running the process as a two step compile with maven after a clean works:

mvn clean compile -Dgoogle.webtoolkit.compileSkip=true

followed by:

mvn gwt:compile

Hive Development Limited: Google Web Toolkit (GWT) MVP Example

I haven't found a wealth of content on the MVP approach and especially not event bus but this blog does a great job with transforming the greeting starter code.

Google Sidewiki

Google Sidewiki

So Google has just launched seemingly the world's largest message board. I have to wonder at what point it will take over as the largest BigTable application at Google. Maybe cached web page copies is larger?

noop - Project Hosting on Google Code

noop - Project Hosting on Google Code

Nice. A language about nothing? Hope to find some time to try this out. I can't imagine programming in Java without dependency ingection anymore even though it isn't baked into the laguage.

I didn't realize that Java to XPCOM was really possible but I guess it is. It would be nice if Java could implement XPCOM interfaces.
