You should make a class called Lexicographer. A lexicographer is a person who writes dictionaries.

LOL, nice idea ...

Any chance you could post an example of how to use the DictionaryConstantsWriter class. I think this could be useful in decreasing the load time for one of my GWT components which contains several input picklist fields, each resulting in a RPC call back to the server at load time. An example would be greatly appreciated.

Sure, here's an example:

interface MyInitialData extends DictionaryConstants {
// ...
}

MyInitialData initialData = new MyInitialData() {
@Override
public UserInfo myUser() {
return myUser;
}
@Override
public AuthToken sessionToken() {
return token;
}

};

request.setAttribute("initialData", DictionaryConstantsWriter.serializeConstants("initialData", initialData, MyInitialData.class, true));

Then I use this inside a freemarker template as ${initialData}, along with the usual GWT stuff.
