Here's the solution -- ditch the plugins entirely.

Instead, develop a Java applet that functions as a JPDA server that
knows how to translate the state of the running GWT app into the JPDA
protocol so a remote Java debugger can understand it.  The applet
would be embedded into the module's primary .html page.

The concept of "devmode" basically goes away and instead the GWT
compiler would have a "DEBUG" output format which would include code
that passes state information to the JPDA Java applet as the
javascript executes.

Have youse guys considered anything like this?  The JPDA applet is
just a SMOP, but I'd have to guess adding a "DEBUG" output format to
the GWT compiler would be pretty big.  "F5/Refresh" performance would
need consideration in this too.

It's a totally half-baked idea right now, but I wanted to toss it out
to see if the smarties at google think it's worth further thought.
