I don't think Andrés was asking why they weren't in the gwt package. He's sking why they are in the com.google.web package if they are usable outside of the web domain. It seems like we are moving from a very limited package scope to a slightly less limited package scope.
I'm sure you've debated this plenty, but since I'm doing the code review, I have to question the package name com.google.web.bindery. com - okay, off to a good start .google - I like it .web - I agree with Andrés here. Wouldn't a use case be to run this code on the server, or even in an Android app? It seems like "web" could be dropped, saving 4 bytes in a lot of files. .bindery - What's bindery? It sounds like its related to UiBinder, but UiBinder is truly cliient one. Is it the name of the new project? If you drop "web", we end up with: com.google.gwt - Libraries used to create GWT applications. com.google.bindary - Useful Google Java libraries, but google provides other libraries, so what is bindary's mission?
