I am not a GWT expert, but I don't think this is possible. But if you want to make life easier you could use a "ant task" to automate those jar builds, copying, and classpath updating.
With "ant" you can do most anything you could with a ShellScript, you know, java project wise. To help debugging, you can export every jar with the sources inside, there is a checkbox on the eclipse Jar export wizard. Boa sorte!
