Re: [Gwt-openlayers-devl] IMPORTANT merging maven enhancements (trac issue 48)

[Farrukh N. <fa...@we...>]

+1 on the proposed resolution of issue 48:

https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gwt-openlayers/ticket/48

Kudos to Andrew for the terrific work to implement the proposed resolution.
Kudos to Edwin and other dev team members for a lot of good work leading 
up to 0.5 release.

BTW, we should consider getting a free hosted JIRA license for the project.
It would be so much better than TRAC. Lots of SF projects are doing that 
these days that SF should just get a blanket deal with Atlassian.
