Thanks Gabriel, I've read differing opinions on whether client and server code should be split into two projects. At this point, I really don't care which about which approach I use as long as I get something up and running that is error free. Could someone explain to me a specific procedure for setting up a GWT + Maven2 + Hibernate3 project in Eclipse? For instance, if I were to use only one project, do I create a new GWT project with the GWT Eclipse plugin and then modify its directory structure to conform to Maven's standard directory layout? Or, do I create a Maven project with the m2eclipse plugin and then enable GWT in that project? Frankly, I'm not sure where the best place to start is. This is my first project using multiple technologies together, and although I feel like I understand a good deal of how these technologies work individually, I don't understand how to make them work together. Any help would be most appreciated.
