Mike Youngstrom commented on MGWT-170:
--------------------------------------
Just curious. Any reason why you don't just add the source jars for all
compile scoped dependencies of a project to the compile process? Why make the
developer explicitly specify which dependencies sources you want to use?

> When dealing with multiple modules/projects[1], it would be nice to remove
> the restriction that source code must be bundled inside of the final
> endstate. In addition to making the endstates larger it also means making
> source code more available than a developer/corporation desire. I started a
> discussion on the GWT Community group[2] about what the requirements are for
> the GWT compiler.
> I'd propose that instead of forcing endstates to include the source code you
> make use of the Maven convention of using separate sources jars. In my
> testing I've found that if I have Project A depends on a module represented
> by ProjectB. If I configure B to produce the following 2 endstates:
> ProjectB.jar
> ProjectB-sources.jar
> I can then configure Project A to have the following dependencies:
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.foo</groupId>
> <artifactId>projectB</artifactId>
> <scope>compile</scope>
> </dependency>
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.foo</groupId>
> <artifactId>projectB</artifactId>
> <scope>provided</scope>
> <classifier>sources</classifier>
> </dependency>
> This eliminates the need for the final endstates to include code and will
> also make the GWT compiler happy. Additionally if the gwt-maven-plugin
> wanted to make a developer's life really really easy it could download the
> source jars automatically[3] and attach them to the classpath.
> So the 2 things I propose are:
> 1. enhance the documentation to state the use of sources jars.
> 2. download the source jars automatically and use them to make the gwt
> compiler happy.
