The maven-gwt-plugin from codehaus is looking quite good at this
point. I recommend trying 1.1-SNAPSHOT.

I just reported an issue with running unit tests (which has been fixed
in SVN, waiting on a new SNAPSHOT build). With that it does absolutely
everything I've expected (on all platforms, without local
configuration) and with very minimal setup (add the plugin, add a
dependency on gwt-user, done).

The one remaining issue is the new build output format (WAR), and how
resources are deployed. I'm totally against having GWT compile
directly into /src/main/webapp. It's completely against the principles
of keeping your source tree clean and putting all artifacts under
target. If you stick with traditional maven approach, it means you
need to execute war:exploded first before launching hosted mode (and
again if you want to change something without restarting the hosted
mode).

The other approach is stick with src/main/webapp and make sure the
clean plugin cleans out all GWT generated files. Again, this is really
not the right approach :-(
