You don't have to switch to 1.6 or 1.7 to start using the Eclipse plug-
in (though of course, using the latest version is still better...
well, 1.6 wasn't worth it –some bugs making it unusable in practice–
but 1.7 definitely is)

1. your "console" tab says you're still using GWTShell, not
HostedMode, hence the issue the -startUrl argument
2. why are your gwt.xml in your war folder?
3. why are your HTML and CSS files in your war/WEB-INF folder?
(I assume the war/tomcat has been created by GWTShell)
4. er, the war folder should really be at the root of the project !

Only *.html files located in the war/ folder are listed (excluding war/
WEB-INF/**)

1. create war folder with war/WEB-INF/web.xml
2. copy everything from your public/ subpackages into war (well,
unless those things that you actually have to keep in public, because
they're reusable resources; for example, because you're including your
CSS from your gwt.xml, you should keep your CSS into public while
moving the HTML into war) and update the <script src=""/> in your HTML
pages to include the module name (or its rename-to="" name)
3. add the GWT facet to your eclipse project (if you already added it,
first remove it, then add it again)
4. You're done, you can use the "run as > web application" to launch
HostedMode (the plugin will choose HostedMode vs. GWTShell because
there is a war folder)
5. port your Listeners to Handlers and upgrade your widgets to no
longer use sinkEvents/onBrowserEvent
