Major differences are: - Mojo's one is tied to a specific version of GWT. To get a fix for the plugin, you possibly need to update your GWT too (it's a good idea anyway, but there could be timing conflicts); and to update your GWT you might have to wait for a release of the plugin. I completely stopped maintaining Mojo's plugin and following its development so I have no idea whether there'll be a new release and when (I'm absolutely not trying to throw FUD here); all I can say is it hasn't been updated for 4 months whereas they has been some changes to GWT and more changes to come (e.g. disableCastChecking was deprecated in September, jsInteropMode default was recently changed from NONE to JS_RC, there's a patch in review that removes jsInteropMode=JS and the jsInteropMode argument will be removed entirely before 2.8.0, and there's a new generateJsInteropExports). - Mojo's plugin gwt:run and gwt:run-codeserver don't play well with multi-module builds. You can make them work but they need really nasty hacks in your POMs (BTW, this is a similar situation to the Jetty Maven Plugin). - My plugin brings in new packagings, so you have fewer things to configure. > The project's directory structure doesn't follow Maven convention, so I > guess I will run into some problems with Thomas' plugin? > No you shouldn't. All paths are configurable, and many goals (e.g. generateModule) can be skipped. And you can also use the goals without using the gwt-lib/gwt-app packagings, just like with Mojo's plugin. In any case, it's not hard to switch from one plugin to the other, so just pick the one you'd prefer working with. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Users" group.
