OK, so Spring is worse that I'd imagined ;-)

Oh, I thought it was because of Maven, and overall dependency management 
(where you'd then have, for instance, to exclude the validation-api 
dependency from hibernate-validator because the lcasses are already in 
gwt-servlet or live with potential conflicts if validation-api is updated to 
1.1 or 2.0 but the 1.0 version bundled in gwt-servlet would be used because 
it comes first in the classpath –i.e. gwt-servlet defeating version conflict 
resolution of Maven, and possibility leading to breakages of third-party 
libs that depend on a newer version).
