MyEclipse For Spring (ME4S) 8.6 is now generally available with support for GWT front end generation as well as Spring back end generation.
We also posted an article on DZone here: http://java.dzone.com/articles/generating-enterprise-class You can download the software and get more information here: http://www.myeclipseide.com/me4s/ We are anxious to get feedback from the GWT community so please let us know what you think.
