Possibly bind gwt:compile to the 'prepare-package' phase by default in 'war' 
projects (maven 2.1)

                 Key: MGWT-62
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MGWT-62
             Project: Maven 2.x GWT Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.1
            Reporter: Mark Renouf
            Priority: Minor


The gwt:compile goal used to be bound to the 'compile' phase, and it was 
changed to the 'process-classes' phase. This allowed running mvn:compile to 
compile java source without triggering the gwt compiler uneccessarily. 

Maven 2.1 introduces the 'process-package' phase. This seems like a more ideal 
default phase for gwt:compile within a WAR project. JS compilation is not 
needed by any intermediate phases. GWTUnitTest does it's own compilation, as 
well as HostedMode, etc. The only time GWT compiler should be automatically 
invoked is just prior to packaging.

In a jar package project, it should remain unbound (as I beleive it is now?).

I'm not sure if this is possible to do conditionally for only 2.1.x, but it 
would be nice.

Alternatively, this is easy to accomplish in your project manually, so if this 
can't be changed it should be documented under best practices somewhere.
