First of all I would like to thank You for taking time to address the issues which Maven users have. My comments might be slightly off topic since my project doesn't use Eclipse and the Google plugin for Eclipse but relies heavily on Maven, the wonderful gwt-maven-plugin (http:// mojo.codehaus.org/gwt-maven-plugin/) and Netbeans. I do not know what type of support You plan to add for Maven users but I think it would be nice if You provided Maven users with a plugin (something like gwt- maven-plugin, perhaps extending it) that could perform most (if not all) of the tasks that the Google plugin for Eclipse now performs for Eclipse users. This way You could attract more people that are not using Eclipse (but are using Maven) to the wonderful world of GWT.
Now to answer the questions: > - Create a new project? I think I created a Web application project using Maven and then manually added GWT support (the gwt-maven-plugin configuration). > - Perform GWT compiles? GWT compiles are performed automatically during the project build (install) if the pom is configured properly. If needed the compile can be invoked with the goal gwt:compile > - Debug with Eclipse? As I mentioned earlier I use Netbeans instead of Eclipse. For debugging the gwt-maven-plugin comes to the rescue. First you need to invoke the gwt:debug goal. It starts the GWT Development Mode which waits for a debugger to be attached. Then you just have to attach the Netbeans debugger to the port that was defined when the GWT Development Mode was started. Works like a charm. It also works works when You change some code save the .java file and reload in the browser (although not always). > - Run your tests? Maven automatically runs tests as part of the build (if testing is not turned off). As Davis said most of the tests are pure JUnit tests. > - Create a WAR for deployment? Maven automatically creates a War if it is so defined in the pom.
