We decided (a long time ago) that we wanted to modularize GWT, and move to side-projects what could be decoupled. The goal is to spread maintenance to more people (hopefully) by reducing the scope of each project, and allowing those side-projects to have different release cycles than GWT. This means that GWT does not need to wait for some bugs to be fixed or features to be added to some parts of the code before a release can be cut, concentrating on the compiler and core (emulation, etc.), and projects can release without waiting for a GWT release either. So, if you can contribute some time, it'd be great to be able to move Bean Validation to its own project and out of GWT proper (there'd still be some javax.validation emulation in GWT proper, at least some interfaces; but there may be some work needed to make other GWT features independent of the Bean Validation version being used; I think there's some code in Editors or Request Factory that implements a javax.validation interface). Then the project can live its own life and update to a newer Hibernate Validator, etc. FWIW, JBoss has interest in Bean Validation too, so you may want to get in touch with Christian Sadilek. See https://github.com/gwtproject/gwt/issues/9367 for more on the matter. FWIW, Putnami PWT also has some form of JSR 303 support, so I suppose they'd be interested in, at least, following the changes made to GWT on the subject. In any case, all help is welcome.
