Jens beat me to the reply, so I'll just answer one of the questions:

how to update the app when either client side or server side code changes 
> are made.  Joe says to cycle tomcat...what does that mean? 


Just CNTRL-C to kill the tomcat and then run *mvn tomcat7:run-war* to 
recompile and redeploy it

If you've just made server s I'm constantly going to the real code to 
figure out what has to change and then manually finding those same classes 
in Chromide changes, like modifying a backend service, then Maven will 
detect those changes and only recompile the backend Java. GWT will not 
recompile. On my dev machine, this means I can have the whole server 
recompiled and redeployed in about 15s.

There are other more advanced code-hot swapping tricks you can do to a 
running tomcat, but I've only tinkered with those.

It would be great to have an ability to drill from a Chrome JS debugger 
line into the source file in an IDE. Since Chrome already has the FQDN and 
line number, it would not be that complicated to do with a hook into the 
IDE. Sounds like a missing Chrome Extension, the sort of thing the IntelliJ 
boys would build if people made enough noise.


Sincerely,
Joseph
