Isn't that the case for any webpage generated entirely through JavaScript? 
(whether that JS has been hand-written, generated from Java code through 
GWT, or from CoffeeScript, TypeScript, Scala, Closure, you name it)
(and specifically, this applies to AngularJS too, as we're in a "GWT vs 
AngularJS" thread)

Something like http://dev.arcbees.com/gwtp/advanced/crawler-support.html ? 
(which I don't think is limited to applications using GWTP btw)
See also https://prerender.io/ (independent from the client-side 
technology, whether GWT, AngularJS, etc.)

But as Vassilis said, Google and Bing execute JS (to some extent) so at 
least there you're covered without additional work. Things are likely to be 
different with Baidu and DuckDuckGo (to name a few)
