GWT doesn't work well with Maven. Support has improved recently but is still terrible.
I may just be hitting a lot of outlier samples but Google Java projects seem antagonistic to Maven (I've used GWT, GAE and GData). GData's really bad; see comments at: http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-client/wiki/Dependencies http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-client/wiki/Dependencies
I'd never have ended up using GWT if I'd tried it first as a mavenized project. But GWT itself is a really beautiful toolset and I'm sad to see it abandoned because of a weakness in one area. It's really frustrating that that weakness is probably the first thing that a whole bunch of people will run into when trying it out.
Also if you don't have to use GXT, don't. It is rubbish.
