As Thomas already stated, the best way would be to use a proper build system. I use maven and maven-gwt-plugin which works just perfectly.
But if you don't have any spare time to switch to maven right now, you will get your app running performing your step 1 & 2 and then putting everything in the war directory of your project into an war archive which can be easly deployed on tomcat.
