Hi In my opinion contribution to an open source project should be as easy as possible - the easier it is, higher the chance somebody will contribute. As Jens mentioned there are already several steps which are required to setup working environment. Downloading VM software, VM image and additional tools adds some overhead to the process.
Another thing is the choice of the build tool. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to base the whole build process on such a new tool (Pants - v0.1). I would lean toward some well known tools. I know Maven is out of the picture. Until now Ant was used for building GWT but it's not too good for modularized projects and the plan is to make monolithic gwt-user/dev/servlet split into smaller modules. At some point Buck was one of the options, but I didn't hear any news about using it. Maybe Gradle? I think some build tool matrix would help in making the decision.
