Ok. In our project, we used to enable the closure compiler because the 
codebase is quite large, and closure compiler helped in reducing further 
the code size. I don't have the numbers at hand, but the full code size 
(including all split points) is about 2.8M, and closure compiler reduced 
some hundred kilobytes from it.

I have assumed it was new because it is not present as option in the 
gwt-maven-plugin (which is updated up to the beta1).

I was assuming that flag was needed in order to generate code that complies 
with the closure compiler limitations 
(https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/docs/limitations).
Maybe that is not the case and I can just invoke the closure compiler 
manually on the generated GWT code? Should I expect any runtime problems by 
doing this?
