Hello all,

I was asking myself when I should use the gwt-codeserver.jar
I'm not including it into my project but I can run Super Dev Mode anyway, 
so I've checked the content of the gwt-codeserver.jar to see what it does 
provide that is not provided by gwt-dev:

Handwritten:gwt-0.0.0 cristcost$ pwd
/Users/cristcost/dev/Open-Source/gwt-trunk/build/staging/gwt-0.0.0
Handwritten:gwt-0.0.0 cristcost$ *unzip -l gwt-codeserver.jar*
Archive:  gwt-codeserver.jar
  Length     Date   Time    Name
 --------    ----   ----    ----
        0  10-05-15 10:39   META-INF/

        0  10-05-15 10:39   com/google/gwt/
        0  10-05-15 10:39   com/google/gwt/dev/
        0  10-05-15 10:39   *com/google/gwt/dev/codeserver*/
     8425  10-05-15 10:39   *com/google/gwt/dev/codeserver/*CodeServer.class
*[...omissis...]*
     2492  06-30-15 09:52   *com/google/gwt/dev/codeserver*/stub.nocache.js
      122  10-05-15 10:39   META-INF/INDEX.LIST
 --------                   -------
   509150                   122 files
Handwritten:gwt-0.0.0 cristcost$ 

everything is inside the folder *com/google/gwt/dev/codeserver* , ok, let's 
compare with dev:

Handwritten:gwt-0.0.0 cristcost$ unzip -l *gwt-dev.jar* 
com/google/gwt/dev/codeserver/*
Archive:  gwt-dev.jar
  Length     Date   Time    Name
 --------    ----   ----    ----
        0  10-05-15 10:39   com/google/gwt/dev/codeserver/
     8425  10-05-15 10:39   com/google/gwt/dev/codeserver/CodeServer.class
*[...omissis...]*
     2492  06-30-15 09:52   com/google/gwt/dev/codeserver/stub.nocache.js
 --------                   -------
   *508871*                   *115 files*
Handwritten:gwt-0.0.0 cristcost$ 


and now let's filter more with more precision gwt-codeserver.jar to compare 
the differences:

Handwritten:gwt-0.0.0 cristcost$ unzip -l *gwt-codeserver.jar* 
com/google/gwt/dev/codeserver/*
Archive:  gwt-codeserver.jar
  Length     Date   Time    Name
 --------    ----   ----    ----
        0  10-05-15 10:39   com/google/gwt/dev/codeserver/
     8425  10-05-15 10:39   com/google/gwt/dev/codeserver/CodeServer.class
*[...omissis...]*
     2492  06-30-15 09:52   com/google/gwt/dev/codeserver/stub.nocache.js
 --------                   -------
   *508871*                   *115 files*
Handwritten:gwt-0.0.0 cristcost$ 


same number of files, same size, so gwt-codeserver.jar I think this is not 
coincidence and then codeserver is completely included in gwt-dev.
So, is useless?
What is the purpose of it?

thanks,
Cristiano
