Thanks for all the great suggestions. The shared library has a gwt.xml file but is not an EntryPoint. Can I just pick a class in the library and have it implement EntryPoint to get the shared CSS loaded?
To answer the other follow-up questions, I am deploying each app as a separate war file. All of the styles are set through code, so the class names can be obfuscated.
