My original problem seems to be more of a Maven/Eclipse interaction issue. Eclipse-clean != mvn:clean, and sometimes publishing an app to a Spring tc server in Eclipse (and, btw, to the Jetty server in GPE) it fails to copy over resources in target/<foo> that mvn:package is supposed to copy over. Lesson learned: be sure if you ever do a mvn:clean to do an Eclipse project clean, and rebuild from Eclipse (and a GWT compile....) before doing a mvn:package . This should keep the two environments in sync, and the right things should copy over. I'd rather not suffer a 12-permutation (&tc) GWT compile if I don't have to, so I hope your recommendations bear fruit.
