I've added a compiler launcher to the GWT Eclipse Plugin. I'm excited b/c this should improve the compiler experience. I'm looking forward to adding more argument processors to the project.

Thoughts on the icon choice?

I've added a shortcut to launch it.

Brandon, could You describe a use case for this in just a few words?
For myself, I am compiling using an Ant file, and debugging using Your Super Dev Mode launcher. Where does this fit in?

Thanks for any explanation, and thanks for all Your great work.

regards,
Max

I'm not sure this fits your use case, but I'm after some of these.

Use Cases:

1. Compiling into a custom web server directory, then there is no need for the code server

2. Compiling the app

3. Removing the current GWT Compiler dialog

4. More flexible compiler classpath

5. Future WTP publisher compiler integration

What I'm really after is a more flexible persistent compiler configuration I can call over and over. Such as:

Compiler -incremental -setProperty user.agent=safari -war /path/to/war

Does that help?

Thx Brandon, that has clarified it for me.
