I thought Matt Raible had some success with getting GWT to play nice with Maven:
http://raibledesigns.com/rd/entry/modularizing_gwt_applications_with_gwt Personally I would choose GWT only when I want to keep server calls to a bare minimum. "Ready made" components and all may look enticing, but in my experience you always fall into the trap where they do *almost* what you want but not *exactly* (just like JSF). In theory nothing stops somone from writing components as "rich looking" as ExtJS. I think Matej's "inmethod grid" is a good example. P.S. people say my article is "one sided" but no-one can explain *why ;) - ok, ok this has been discussed to death in the comments there ...
