[Building Sakai] gradebook2 and 2.6

[John Bush]

so I've been doing some work to port gradebook2 to 2.6, I've got it  
running.  But there was one hiccup I ran into and I'm not sure I took  
the right course of action.

It concerns the following item in the patch to the existing gradebook

Index: service/hibernate/src/hibernate/org/sakaiproject/tool/gradebook/ 
GradeRecord.hbm.xml

There is already a field in GradeRecord.hbm.xml	 that sounds like the  
same thing:

  name="excludedFromGrade" column="IS_EXCLUDED_FROM_GRADE"

So with that assumption I didn't add it to the existing hbm but rather  
just created accessors in AssignmentGradeRecord, like this:

	public Boolean isExcluded() {
		return isExcludedFromGrade();
	}

	public void setExcluded(Boolean excluded) {
		setExcludedFromGrade(excluded);
	}

This was to avoid changing any gradebook2 code, alternatively I could  
refactor all the method calls there.  Best course of action?

I'm assuming the plan is to remove the necessity of the gradebook  
patch in 2.7?  Has that work been done yet ?

Also has any researched a way to remove the gwt property that you send  
to maven, that is pretty annoying, but I'd imagine it could cycle into  
many hours of work trying to figure out a way around it.
