I have used following convention for my generator:
A separate GWT Module under com.my.company.generator
com.my.company.generator
|-> MyDataGenerator.gwt.xml
|-> com.my.company.generator.client
|-> MyDataInterface.java
|-> com.my.company.generator.rebind
|-> MyDataGenerator.java
MyDataGenerator.gwt.xml contains client code and genrator rules:
<source path="client"/>
<generate-with
class="com.my.company.generator.rebind.MyDataGenerator">
<when-type-assignable
class="com.my.company.generator.client.MyDataInterface"/>
</generate-with>
MyDataInterface.java is a marker interface to use and contains markup
annotations for my generator.
MyDataGenerator.java extends Generator and generates java based on my
supplied annotations.
In my main project; I inherit this Generator module:
<!-- Custom Generators -->
<inherits name="com.my.company.generator.MyDataGenerator" />
And use as:
MyDataInterface InstData = GWT.create(MyDataConfig01.class);
MyDataConfig01 extends MyDataInterface {
//Makes use of annotations to markup configurations
}

Nirmal
