This does make sense, yes. Whether or not files need special treatment though depends on how they are accessed. If they have to be in a particular file system location they are different than if they just need to be on the classpath.
For Spring and JPA stuff, and other things that need to be present at a particular path location for the hosted mode tomcat, I have just used the antrun plugin in the past to copy them to where they need to be. I think others also just use noserver once things get complicated (but that has it's own other issues, can't run tests, etc). We actually used to have an issue in the tracker for this: http://code.google.com/p/gwt-maven/issues/detail?id=82 (which I am re- opening to revisit). It details how to use ant run and such. I am adding an issue for the *rpc file. That should automatically get copied over for sure.
