GWT development mode just stopped working a few days ago.  The app
server starts up normally (I verified this by stepping through the
debugger), but no browser plugin will connect.  The browser just
displays a blank screen (no title, no message) and "view source" shows
nothing.

* I have tried dev mode with multiple GWT applications and none of
them work.
* I have tested IE, Chrome, and Firefox and they are all broken.
* I removed the GWT plugin in Chrome and reinstalled - still broken.
Interestingly enough I had to reinstall manually - it was not
automatic, nor was it automatic when I downloaded Firefox (which I did
not have installed).
* I had a coworker test the application on a different machine and it
works fine for him.
* Strangely enough, it broke in Chrome first but was working in IE.  I
figured the Chrome plugin was hosed in some way.  A few hours later it
stopped working in IE.
* I tried different ports for the app server (default 8888) and the
code server (default 9997) with no luck.
* netstat -a shows that the dev mode process is listening on 8888 and
9997 as expected, but nothing is connected on 8888 or 9997.
* I put a breakpoint in the gwt dev code where the browser is supposed
to connect - the server socket .accept() method is never hit.
* If I build the application (Maven build with gwt-maven-plugin) it
works fine in Tomcat.
* The day before this happened we were testing some new policy files
and certificates in the JRE.  I can't see how this could affect
anything but I uninstalled/reinstalled the JRE and JDK anyway.  I run
dev mode from IntelliJ IDEA normally, and that runs using the JDK not
the JRE.  And I can't imagine that the browser plugins are written in
Java.
* Although I normally run from IntelliJ, I tried mvn gwt:run and it's
broken in the exact same way.

I'm completely frustrated - I've probably spent 10-15 hours on this
issue with no luck.  Does anyone have a clue?  Thanks in advance.
