Hey Jon,

The overall goal I am trying to achieve is automated build and deployment for our LabKey configuration, as detailed in my latest reply in this thread: https://www.labkey.org/announcements/home/Developer/Forum/thread.view?rowId=11385

I suspected we may be able to do a lot with a custom JAVA module, however I am not keen to explore that alternative at least not without paying you guys for expert assistance cause with the relatively sparse documentation on the JAVA module side and the interesting combination of Spring and GWT which I am very curious how you make work ... I guess they just run side by side as they have completely different mechanisms for doing web content ... I would be further curious if I could use GWT 2.7 inside a custom module as I saw you guys use an older version... I would really like to leverage the UI binder feature too...
Oh and let's not forget the change cycle as in how fast can I see my code change on my browser while developing for it. I'm spoiled by GWT applications and I like the cycle to be close to instantaneous.

But that's all neither here nor there, I probably won't get the chance to dive that deep.
