Maven - Tomcat and devmode

[blackh...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

We have been working with GWT and ant script for a long time.
Now we are moving towards jdk 17 and are struggeling with devmode and the 
jetty server.

I read that if we want to run with devmode, we need to switch to maven en 
deploy to our own webserver. This is Tomcat 9 or 10 for us.

I have Created the MyWebApp with the webAppCreator and the maven options, 
to see how the maven config looks like.
This config works with the build in jetty, when running gwt:devmode.

When i import the project in eclipse and use it as a web application, i get 
the same issue as described here:
https://itecnote.com/tecnote/eclipse-running-gwt-on-tomcat-in-eclipse/

The suggestion there is to use -noserver, but no explanation on how to set 
this.
Attached is the generated pom file, how to change it so that it works with 
devmode and tomcat?

thnx
