*Q) So what's the deal with the Codehaus Mojo GWT Plugin and this one (the
Google Code one named GWT-Maven) merging - has it happened, is it
happening, what?
-TODO
+The Codehaus Mojo GWT Plugin (http://mojo.codehaus.org/gwt-maven-plugin/)
has merged our source code (GWT-Maven) into ITSELF. We have not merged any
of their code here. They have also copied our documentation style, same
sections, etc (goes beyond just the Maven defaults, they copied our docs
and modified), so it's a bit confusing.
-*Q) I'm getting "too long" errors for lines on Windows, what can I do
about this?
+At some point we will work on new issues via the Codehaus plugin because
that is the "Maven way" for third party plugins, and we agree we should try
to follow the standard path.
+
+The current status of this plugin is SUPPORTED, BUT NO NEW FEATURES WILL
BE ADDED. The status of the "merge" at Codehaus is that the developers
there (at Codehaus) did that, and we agreed to join that project and
contribute there, when we get the chance to catch devote the time to get up
to speed there. We have not yet had time to get familiar with that code
base and sign off on it. We will validate that it all works as expected,
same goals and features, and it's documented, has an archetype, has
samples, etc - BEFORE we discontinue support here.
+
+For now, the GWT-Maven developers recommend you use GWT-Maven, because
that is what we know and support - we can't vouch for the Codehaus GWT
plugin in any way (we do plan to do that in the future, and support things
there, etc, but we have not YET been able to get involved there). That
recommendation though is no reflection on the quality of the Codehaus
plugin, we simply don't know much about it, so we can't recommend it, it
might be great, you might want to check it out, but we can't tell you
whether or not it's good or bad. We can tell you that we know this plugin,
and if you have a question in the GWT-Maven forum, we will respond.

+
+*Q) I'm getting classpath "too long" errors for lines on Windows, what can
I do about this?
We have tried various approaches to address this problem, and honestly
have never solved it here completely. There are complications with the
different approaches - for details see issue 88
(http://code.google.com/p/gwt-maven/issues/detail?id=88). We aren't
working on this more here for several reasons, 1. we have never gotten a
reliable Windows user/owner for testing and hashing out the issue, 2. the
help we do get works on one version of Windows but not another, 3. the
Codehaus Mojo GWT plugin claims to have solved this problem - we haven't
verified - see FAQ item 2 - so it's not a priority for this codebase at
this time (though it is a valid issue).
