Jan,
It looks like you found an issue on our side. Given your project settings,
the GPE is attempting to load GwtShell with the -style arg which has been
removed.
We have a fix in place for the 2.0 launch and in the meantime, if you want
to continue using the RC2 plugin and SDK, you can do the following:
1. Uncheck the "Use Google Web Toolkit" setting within your project
properties
2. Add a war/WEB-INF directory structure to your app
3. Add a web.xml to the WEB-INF directory with the following contents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd";>
<web-app>
</web-app>
4. Check the "Use Google Web Toolkit" settings within your project
properties
This workaround will trigger the plugin to launch DevMode (instead of
GwtShell) without the -style arg.
