You are correct. I was referring to the combination of eclipse/gwt/ maven. And from what I gather, the version of m2e updated for Indigo has caused all kinds of breakage of existing maven plugins (when used with Indigo). Personally, I'm to the point of believing that you are better off without using maven for gwt projects until the situation improves.
