Re: Can the GWT Eclipse Plugin use Maven downloaded artifacts for the SDK?

Thanks Kathrin -- I went ahead and tried that, but it wouldn't let
me... Check this out -- the artifact is in this directory that was
created by Maven:

~/.m2/repository/com/google/gwt/gwt-user/2.0.3

But the plugin seems to be hard-coded to look for a file named "gwt-
user.jar" but in this case, the maven artifact filename is "gwt-
user-2.0.3.jar" and the GUI of the plugin won't let me select it!!!

I did however, get it work with the UGLIEST of workarounds:

I violated every principal of Maven and hand created a directory with
symbolic links named after the SDK files that point to my 2.0.3
artifacts. I then pointed the Eclipse plugin to that. It works, but
it will break as soon as I upgrade anything! Plus now I have two
copies of the JARs on my classpath.

Any other ideas?
