unfortunately, none such mapping exists :-( some kind of ala carte from the 1.5-1.7? range IIRC. > The documentation just says: /library/gwt/libs tracking original gwt > sources, without improvements ah, that was ripped out some time ago by ... which document was that in? if you could open a quick ticket that would be fantastic ... or just remove it and ill pull your branch on github ;-) > It would be very nice to know the exact source revision and the URL to the > source code that was used to create the related pjys GWT python object > (traceability is a great feature). couldn't agree more. > This would make it easier to look at the actual GWT bug tracking issues to > determine if necessary bugs have been fixed that have not been incorporated > into the pjys GWT object > Nice to understand what GWT version the pjys version is actually at - nice > when reading Google's GWT documentation.

GWT is just one path of many. -- C Anthony
