Update: The problem was that the launch configuration created by the gwt-maven- plugin was missing the module specification. Once I added this, the app did come up when invoking "Run As/Web Application".
The current problem that I'm working on is that my app compiled for web mode isn't coming up. Instead I get a dialog box saying the module may need to be recompiled. Its looking like there are files missing from the war file. Wish me luck. Obviously, GPE/Eclipse functionality hasn't been very well tested by the plugin developers.
