+------------ GWT dev-jar path ------------
+To run applications against the Eclipse projects for GWT rather than an
+extracted jar file, you need to tell GWT where to find its native libraries
+since they won't be in the jar file. Using this approach requires building
+GWT from the command line with ant once to get the files in the proper
+location, but it doesn't need to be redone unless you change any of the native
+libraries.
