Hi Marius, I'm back on working on this. Maybe you can help me getting-in and tell me something about this mechanism (http://snag.gy/OVUoR.jpg). How are the plugins published at this point?
I set up eclipse to debug the java code with the browser gwt dev plugin. Maybe it could be useful for someone, would you like that I document it somewhere?
