Most of the time, you'll be debugging in DevMode, against your Java code, within your Java IDE, using any Java debugger. GWT 2.5 will generate SourceMaps so you can see your Java code in your browser's dev tools, set breakpoints in the Java code to pause the JS engine, etc. See

My company has taken the decision to move from Flex to HTML5/ Javascript for a corporate web-app. So far we are very impressed with GWT and are thinking of utilizing it, especially since we are mostly a Java house. My biggest concern, however, is the wonderful magic that is the GWT Javascript

Well there are some cases where the development code is not the same as the executed Javascript code. You'd typically notice this around async RPC calls where the order of events during Java based debugging session is different from the Javascript. But then again this is something you'd have
