This project is now on GitHub: https://github.com/aepshteyn/gwt-stack-trace-kit
You can download <https://github.com/aepshteyn/gwt-stack-trace-kit/releases/download/v1.0/gwt-2.5.0-StackTracePatch.zip> the stack-trace-enabled GWT 2.5.0 SDK from the project releases. If anyone would like to continue this effort and port this over to the latest GWT branch, I'll do my best to help!
