/**
 * <h3>Loading Optional Modules</h3>
 * 
 *  
 * <p>If your Smart GWT install includes an optional module, it must be added as an
 * &lt;inherits&gt;
 *  tag in your <i>moduleName</i>.gwt.xml module file for it to be used. Some optional modules 
 *  require an additional .jar file (eg analytics.jar), whereas some are bundled in smartgwt.jar
 *  automatically. Where applicable, additional module .jar files are included in
 * Evaluation SDKs but are separate downloads when using an Optional Module with Power or
 * Enterprise.
 *  <P>
 *  <b>Optional modules and Maven</b><br>
 * Developers using {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.MavenSupport Maven} may add resources for
 * optional modules
 *  via <code>includeAnalytics</code>, <code>includeMessaging</code> arguments when 
 * <a href='http://github.smartclient.com/isc-maven-plugin/install-mojo.html'
 * target='_blank'>installing modules to the maven repository</a>.
 *  You can then configure configure your project POM to use the new dependency, for example:
 *  <pre>
 *     ....
 *     &lt;!-- The SmartGWT core --&gt;
 *     &lt;dependency&gt;
 *         &lt;groupId&gt;com.isomorphic.smartgwt.enterprise&lt;/groupId&gt;
 *         &lt;artifactId&gt;smartgwt-enterprise&lt;/artifactId&gt;
 *         &lt;version&gt;\${smartgwt.version}&lt;/version&gt;
 *     &lt;/dependency&gt;
 *     &lt;!-- Analytics optional module --&gt;
 *     &lt;dependency&gt;
 *          &lt;groupId&gt;com.isomorphic.smartgwt.enterprise&lt;/groupId&gt;
 *          &lt;artifactId&gt;smartgwt-analytics&lt;/artifactId&gt;
 *          &lt;version&gt;\${smartgwt.version}&lt;/version&gt;
 *     &lt;/dependency&gt;
 *  </pre>
 *  <P>
 *  The table below describes what &lt;inherits&gt; to add for each module.</p>
 *  <table class="normal" border=1>

 *  also for FusionChart support.

 *  <tr>
 *  <td><b>Charts</b> (included in <code>smartgwt.jar</code>)<br>
 *  Required for {@link com.smartgwt.client.widgets.chart.FacetChart} and FusionChart.
 * Note that {@link com.smartgwt.client.widgets.chart.FacetChart} also requires the
 * <code>Drawing</code> module to be loaded
 *  before this module.
 *  Note that FusionChart also requires the <code>PluginBridges</code> module to be
 *  loaded before this module.

 *  </tr>
 *  <tr>
 *  <td><b>Analytics</b> (requires <code>analytics.jar</code>)<br>

 * workflow in XML is Pro+ only, in LGPL
 *  the workflow engine can only be used programmatically.

 *  SmartGwtXXX module and any other modules from above in your <i>moduleName</i>.gwt.xml file.
 *  <BR><BR>
 *  Note that the developer console has minor functionality issues unless Enterprise skin is
 *  used, so by default inheriting the <pre style="display:inline">SmartGwtTools</pre> module

 *  the developer console to pick up the skin used by your project.<BR>

 * Required for {@link com.smartgwt.client.docs.DevTools}. This module should always be listed
 * <i>after</i> any
 *  other modules from above in your <i>moduleName</i>.gwt.xml file.
 *  <P>
 *  Using these tools to edit hierarchies of Smart GWT components and generate Component XML
 *  for them also requires the system schema to be loaded.
