The gwt-eclipse-plugin is maintained, but browsers removed the API that was previously used to let a Java debugger connect to a running GWT application. This API was used by a browser plugin that was shipped as part of GWT. Technically GWT still supports this, but I believe only IE11 (and htmlunit) can actually use it, and its use is discouraged, some other GWT features will not work with it.
There is a separate plugin, https://sdbg.github.io/ that is also maintained, that allows eclipse to debug GWT apps via sourcemaps, much the same as the browser's own debugger will do. The issues you're observing with variable renaming making it difficult to inspect values is caused by limitations in JS sourcemaps themselves.
