Maven Plugin for GWT

Basic usage

1. Add the plugin to your POM, enabling extensions to get the new packagings, and configuring your module name:

   <plugin>
     <groupId>net.ltgt.gwt.maven</groupId>
     <artifactId>gwt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
     <version>1.2.0</version>
     <extensions>true</extensions>
     <configuration>
       <moduleName>com.example.app.App</moduleName>
     </configuration>
   </plugin>
   

2. Set your <packaging> to either gwt-lib or gwt-app

3. Add dependencies on GWT

   <dependencyManagement>
     <dependencies>
       <dependency>
         <groupId>org.gwtproject</groupId>
         <artifactId>gwt</artifactId>
         <version>2.12.2</version>
         <type>pom</type>
         <scope>import</scope>
       </dependency>
     </dependencies>
   </dependencyManagement>
   <dependencies>
     <dependency>
       <groupId>org.gwtproject</groupId>
       <artifactId>gwt-user</artifactId>
     </dependency>
     <dependency>
       <groupId>org.gwtproject</groupId>
       <artifactId>gwt-dev</artifactId>
     </dependency>
   </dependencies>
   

4. Manage your module in a src/main/module.gwt.xml file. It will be processed and copied to the appropriate place and with the appropriate name according to the configured module name by the gwt:generate-module goal. This can be disabled by setting the skipModule configuration property to true.
