Answer 1

See:

• https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/WorkingWithMaven
• https://github.com/tbroyer/gwt-maven-archetypes (these are mine; introductory blog post )
• https://github.com/branflake2267/Archetypes

I'd recommend not using the archetype from the gwt-maven-plugin. It's OK for people who already master GWT and Maven but definitely needs some polishing. The gwt-maven-plugin has a lot of good ideas, badly executed; my recommendation is to only use it for its compile and generateAsync goals, and possibly mergewebxml , and run DevMode from your IDE (Eclipse with the Google Plugin for Eclipse, or IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate Edition). gwt:run works OK though if you prefer plain Maven, but it really works best for single-module Maven projects, which I don't recommend with GWT.

Disclaimer: I'm one of the maintainers of the gwt-maven-plugin.

Answer 2

I have an old recipe for working with GWT and Maven , that should just need some minor editing of versions of plugins to get it working with the latest versions.

I always start with Maven, generate my project structure, then import that into my IDE, starting at the IDE and going backwards is just asking for a world of pain. So hand building your structure, or better yet using an Archetype is the preferred way to go.

We simply start with GWT sample/example project pom and work our way upwards/downwards from there. If we need more features from dependencies we add or if we need lesser features we drop the dependencies provided in the sample files.

You can find the latest sample pom files in GWT Trunk here .

• validation
• mobilewebapp

Note - We do update plugin version in the pom files to access some more bleeding edge stuff.
