Need special logic for GWT package rename.

[michael-newsrx]

When specifying gwtSdk as:

    gwtSdk 'org.gwtproject:gwt-user:2.10.0'
    gwtSdk 'org.gwtproject:gwt-dev:2.10.0'

The htmlunit dependency chain is not handled properly when depending on projects such as gwt-material resulting in an incorrect version of Jetty being used for super-dev mode.

I'm guessing this is at least in part due to the package rename.

One has to add providedCompile "net.sourceforge.htmlunit:htmlunit:2.55.0" to get superdev mode working.

Is there a minimal sample project demonstrating the issue? What is the expected result? I guess we wanted the htmlunit from the GWT dependencies?

I'll try and put together a minimal project.

Near as I can tell the gwtSdk directive does not seem to be applying the dependency requirements to the superdev run.

In my case, when I use gwtmaterial as a dependency they have their setup so that it shows older gwt-dev and older gwt-user as required and pulls in those older versions htmlunit dependency instead.

As a starting point I've attached two dependency reports, both with and without the htmlunit stanza.

Look specifically for +--- com.github.gwtmaterialdesign:gwt-material:2.6.0 to see the source of the older htmlunit dependency.

Without stanza: dependencies-without-htmlunit-stanza.txt

With stanza: dependencies-with-htmlunit-stanza.txt
