http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/makinggwtbetter.html#compiling
describes how to download and compile GWT source.  Download, it says,
starts with the Subversion command line

svn checkout http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ trunk

This is not quite accurate.  Outsiders can only get a copy using

svn checkout http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
google-web-toolkit-read-only

This is understandable:  there needs to be a mechanism to control code
commits.

But, there is a side effect.  The source code cannot be compiled using
the build.xml in the read-only copy.  There are a small set of tools
that are required.  Most of these can be assembled using other
download sites.  One jar file, gwt-customchecks.jar is not publicly
available.

Is this a mistake by the engineering team?  Or, should I start hacking
the build.xml?
