Re: [m2e-users] m2e, resource excludes and gwt ClientBundle

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The proper solution here is to develop an Eclipse plugin that provides
integration between m2e and gwt tooling, similar to how this is done in
m2e/wtp or m2e/ajdt. This requires eclipse gwt tooling to allow
alternative resource lookup algorithms, so may require changes to the
gwt tooling as well.
