Max Andersen commented on JBIDE-8012:
-------------------------------------

we shouldn't rebuild GWT google plugins - google should simply just be informed about this problem and if we can't depend on them we'll have to remove GWT plugins.

> nick, I thought about possibilities to remove the dependency to the gwt sdk bundle since our integration plugin gets uninstallable as soon as google releases a new version. We currently have no choice but to track their updates and release a new version.
> The basic problem is that google had the great idea to include the plugin version into the plugin name and that they remove old version from their update site.
> I currently don't see any viable solution (optional dependencies dont help for new versions; I cannot depend on packages instead of the bundle since their bundle does not export any package).
> Do you see any option that would allow us to trigger the installation of the gwt-sdk bundle when someone installs our integration plugin?
