Glad you found your issue. I'm always forgetting to set the "-launcherDir" on the code server on a fresh install. :)
Another thing that trips me up, is when I do a "GWT Compile Project" (because I want to deploy my site to test/prod), after I've done that, when I start up my code server again, I have to remember, in Eclipse, to publish my web server. This triggers the web server to realise that the xxx.nocache.js has been changed after the compile was done. If I don't do that, when I start my web server, it still has the compiled xxx.nocache.js, and then uses the compiled JS, not the code server. Interested to know if this happens with Tomcat, or it's just a quirk of the Google App Engine web server.
