We've been doing it for more than 1½ year now, it works really well. I'd never used jetty:start or gwt:run before working on the gwt-maven-archetypes. We only used WTP for a few months, and then switched to launching Jetty from a shell script, with a context dedicated to development where it reads classes and resources from our different projects: 'touch' the context file and Jetty redeploys the app in seconds. We had a few issues with WTP (not redeploying some JARs/classes, etc.) As for GWT DevMode, you have to add the source folders of your dependencies (the 'shared' project, possibly others) to the classpath in your Eclipse launcher. Depending on the configuration of your servlet container / deployed app, you might have to use the 'server' project's project.build.outputDirectory or WTP's temporary folder as the -war folder for the DevMode.
