如何在Eclipse中使用Maven在gwt中创建.war文件？

Question

I want to create a war of my GWTApp. According to many tutorials I would have create a package as follows -

 <package>war</package>

in pom.xml . But when I deploy the war on tomcat it show me 404 Error. The war does not contain any host page or dependency.

The following is my pom.xml file -

  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>testing</groupId>
    <artifactId>testing</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <packaging>war</packaging>

 <dependencyManagement>
   <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
    <artifactId>gwt</artifactId>
    <version>2.7.0</version>
    <type>pom</type>
    <scope>import</scope>
   </dependency>
   </dependencies>
 </dependencyManagement>
  <dependencies>
   <dependency>
     <groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
     <artifactId>gwt-user</artifactId>
     <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
   <dependency>
     <groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
     <artifactId>gwt-dev</artifactId>
      <scope>provided</scope>
     </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
      <artifactId>gwt-codeserver</artifactId>
     <scope>provided</scope>
   </dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
  <artifactId>gwt-servlet</artifactId>
  <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
   <build>
    <sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory>
    <resources>
      <resource>
        <directory>src</directory>
       <excludes>
         <exclude>**/*.java</exclude>
       </excludes>
     </resource>
   </resources>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
<!--         <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> -->
       <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<!--         <version>3.1</version> -->
        <configuration>
        <webXml>\mavenWorkspace\testing\war\WEB-INF\web.xml</webXml>
        <source/>
        <target/>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>  

and war structure is like

war
   META-INF
    -maven
    -manifest
   WEB-INF
    -classes
    -lib
   -web.xml

and lib folder contain only gwt-servlet.jar .

It looks like you don't have the gwt-maven-plugin in your project. GWT requires a compile step, so try with adding that.
