---------------------------------------------

Hi Brill,

(i hope this posting is not too late to take notice of...)

Just by scanning through the src code of both plugins, i notice that the 
google-code's m2 plugin invokes the GWT compiler using a command line, spwaning 
a new os process!
Not a very elegant way...

I'm using the codehaus's gwt plugin and i find it stable enough for an alpha 
release and i preffer it implmenetation since it invokes 
com.google.gwt.dev.GWTCompiler directly.

Also, from a functionality standpoint, i see that the google's plugin tries to 
implement  a pass-par-tout that ends up re-inventing the wheel (i.e. attaching 
sources, packaging war, multi-module in a single maven module), so i preffer 
Kristian's simpler approach.

Therefore, i would be glad to help porting Kristian's plugin into mojo as a 
first class citizen.
Anyone else interested in contributing?
(Eric Redmond?)

Finally, i think we should start using this jira issue for any subsequent 
conversations:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-549

Regards,
  Kostis
