VerticalAlignment and Alignment ambiguity confuses UiBinder

[GoogleCodeExporter]

SmartGWT Canvas and layout overloads set vertical and horizontal alignment 
methods, which causes GWT compiler to complain "ambiguous method specified".

e.g.,
setLayoutAlign(Alignment) is for horiz align.
setLayoutAlign(VerticalAlignment) is for vert align.

However, in our uibinder nodes, when we declare
<z:UICanvas layoutAlignment='TOP' ..../>

GWT compiler is confused and complains "ambiguous method specified" because it 
does not know which method overload to use.

Proposed Solution
=================
Therefore, the following solution is proposed.
There will be two new interfaces:

[code]
package org.synthful.smartgwt.client;

import com.smartgwt.client.types.Alignment;
import com.smartgwt.client.types.VerticalAlignment;

public interface HasUICanvasAlign {
    void setLayoutHAlign(Alignment alignment);
    void setLayoutVAlign(VerticalAlignment alignment);
}


package org.synthful.smartgwt.client;

import com.smartgwt.client.types.Alignment;
import com.smartgwt.client.types.VerticalAlignment;

public interface HasUILayoutAlign
extends HasUICanvasAlign{
    void setDefaultLayoutHAlign(Alignment alignment);
    void setDefaultLayoutVAlign(VerticalAlignment alignment);
}
[/code]

All non-layout canvas wrappers should implement HasUICanvasAlign in the 
following manner:

[code]
@Override
public void setLayoutHAlign(Alignment alignment) {
  super.setLayoutAlign(alignment);
}

@Override
public void setLayoutVAlign(VerticalAlignment alignment) {
  super.setLayoutAlign(alignment);
}
[/code]

All layout canvas wrappers should implement HasUILayoutAlign in the following 
manner:

[code]
@Override
public void setDefaultLayoutHAlign(Alignment alignment){
  super.setDefaultLayoutAlign(alignment);
}

@Override
public void setDefaultLayoutVAlign(VerticalAlignment alignment){
  super.setDefaultLayoutAlign(alignment);
}

@Override
public void setLayoutHAlign(Alignment alignment) {
  super.setLayoutAlign(alignment);
}

@Override
public void setLayoutVAlign(VerticalAlignment alignment) {
  super.setLayoutAlign(alignment);
}
[/code]

I have the same problem too.

[ERROR] Ambiguous setter requested: UISpinnerItem.min

When I try to use setMin or setMax, I got the above error.
