Description

To create a native Javascript method in GWT a comment must be used:

void native alert(String msg)/*-{
   // Javascript code here
  $wnd.alert(msg);
}-*/ ;

Spoon generates the resulting code like this

/* -{
   // Javascript code here
  $wnd.alert(msg);
}- */ 
void native alert(String msg);

Is there a way to change the position?

Thanks

Research direction
Examine how Spoon's pretty printer handles comments on native methods, and modify the comment assignment logic to place the JSNI comment before the method declaration as required by GWT.
