JavaWriter has many small limitations, and in the case of GWT, the main one 
is that it's impossible to make it emit JSNI methods (other limitations 
include: annotations on method arguments, and generic/parameterized 
methods).
It's a really great lib, but I believe it'll never support JSNI (I doubt 
Jesse/Jake would accept adding support for it; on the other hand, JSNI as 
we know it is about to disappear if I understood Goktug properly)
