Yes I understand how localization works and yes I understand the
benefits of the way GWT handles localization and yes I am yet another
whiner complaining about the speed of the compiles when localization
is turned on and yes I know about speeding up compiles using -
localWorkers etc, etc.

Anyway, I have an app and I'm using a Dictionary for localized strings
and everything works great and whatever performance benefits I lose
from not using compile time checking I can live with. The number of
strings included in the dictionary is quite small. I would like to use
the same technique for accessing DateTimeConstants and
NumberConstants. Looking at LocaleInfo, there does not seem to be an
easy way to access these constants using a dictionary technique.

We use continuous integration for the builds which get deployed to a
QA environment on a frequent basis. This build will get deployed to a
production environment without recompilation. I recently added two
locales and my build time jumped from 6 to 14 minutes. As we
anticipate adding more locales the build time will increase even more.
We want to make all locales available in the QA environments and don't
want to push out a special build after testing in English.

Is there a way of accessing the constants using a dictionary
technique? If not, is there a way I can customize the build so that I
can insert my own version of LocaleInfoImpl to load the constants from
a dictionary?

As an aside, if localized strings can be accessed from a dictionary,
why not provide access to the constants in same way?

I would appreciate any input.

Thanks.
