We use Maven with GWT in a big project with multiple modules. It work's pretty nice. We split our code in different Maven modules, which are build as separate JARs (incl. source code). Our web application (build as a WAR) has a dependency on the module containing the 'main' GWT module. This dependency is configured as provided, so the JAR won't be included in the WAR. The GWT compiler is configured in the web app's POM and compiles all the GWT code to a directory in 'main/web-app/', so it's included in the WAR. This allows us to keep the WAR clean from GWT related code at runtime (except the RPC related stuff). We're using Eclipse with m2eclipse plugin for development and the GWT plugin for hosted mode (Maven GWT integration is only used for final compiling). This works great, since we can run our web app like any other on a Tomcat and point the hosted browser to this web-app. The GWT plugin isn't configured by Maven, instead we've to enable it manually, but it is only required on one project (containing the 'main' GWT module).
