The marketplace entry is updated, and is using the 4.0.0 release at plugins.gwtproject.org. There is a subdirectory that lists all deployed versions, including a nightly build - each of these directories can be added directly to eclipse as an update site: https://plugins.gwtproject.org/eclipse/gwt-eclipse-plugin/.
This deployment is managed presently by https://github.com/Vertispan/gwtproject.org. On Friday, February 3, 2023 at 1:39:10 PM UTC-6 Jens wrote: > Seems fine to use the gwtproject.org domain for it.
