Hi Thomas, I just tried gwt-gradle-plugin. It addresses my need perfectly. However, I enable the JPDA debugging slightly differently than the method mentioned in the document. I create the gwtDevDebug to extend gwtDev and setDebug(true), which is more clear and easier than the -D system property.
To show case the power of gwt-gradle-plugin and some undocumented features, I created a GWT get started project here: https://github.com/schnell18/gwt-gs on Github as well as this gist <https://gist.github.com/schnell18/551dbc967a4bffda7c94> to bootstrap a new GWT with gwt-gradle-plugin to build. Thank you very much for the information!
