build dependency loop in guava / gwt

[Andy Grimm <agrimm@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, everyone.  I'm looking into packaging gwt (Google Web Toolkit) 2.3 and guava r09.  In this new version (unlike Fedora's current version r05), the full guava build requires gwt.  gwt, of course, requires guava to build.   So, I'm looking at doing the following:

* build guava without guava-gwt (so that gwt is not required for the build)
* build gwt (which has a whole pile of other problems, but that's for another day)
* build guava-gwt as a completely separate package, using essentially the same upstream source as the guava package

Is this the accepted way to go about this?  or should I actually be using a "bootstrap" guava package to build gwt, and then rebuild guava with a guava-gwt subpackage (thus leaving a build dependency loop).
