I don't know if this is possible... It would be great if GWT compiler could do this automatically every time it breaks to or returns from js code.
Checking... Oups GWT is actually doing that already. This code works equally well @JsType(isNative = true, namespace = JsPackage.GLOBAL, name = "String") public static interface JsString { } public static native JsString getString(String string) /*-{ return string; }-*/; So it's just the automatic array conversion of some special types such String[] where GWT lacks.
