Yes, I have seen the same requirement in several places too. It's definitely important that developers be able to leverage their IDEs to the fullest to be more productive.
That is actually one of the big reasons I use Maven in the first place, regardless of whether or not I am using GWT on a project. There are other build tools, but having convention for structure and dependencies and such makes it possible to use Maven plugins that setup the project for *whichever* IDE you use (and for many other tools, CI, etc). At the company I work for, for example, we have some people that like Eclipse, some that like NetBeans, and you know what, that's fine. We *never* allow anyone to check in an IDE specific file, and rather, we use the Maven POM to generate the project and import in the IDE. Long story short, we use the Maven eclipse plugin to gen our Eclipse projects (for those that use Eclipse), and from there we can still "play well" with Eclipse, Maven, and GWT. We don't typically launch the GWT goals from within Eclipse, but we still can debug and code and so on, all from Eclipse. Also, I believe some people use Mevenide or m2Eclipse or such to launch Maven goals from Eclipse (I personally just have a shell open and launch from there). Don't get me wrong, I still think many people will find your launch configs useful, I'd say put em up somewhere - but as part of a this Maven project is probably not the place.
