Well, GwtShellServlet itself is only useful in versions of GWT (1.6)  
that use Tomcat in hosted mode.  Beyond that (2.0...  I never really  
used 1.7) Development Mode is tightly coupled to Jetty.  We lose The  
ability to mount Restlet at root as GwtShellServlet does.  Ordinary  
ServerServlet works fine here.  Once your GWT app is compiled, of  
course it doesn't matter what the server side is.

I've been waiting on Google to open source the Google Eclipse Plugin,  
which they hadn't last I checked-- it would be easy to add some  
settings to this to bootstrap a new GWT app for Restlet.  As it  
stands, it's sheer hell keeping all the permutations and incantations  
straight.
