I haven't seen a recent definitive answer to this question: Can I develop GWT applications with Java SE, or do I need to install Java EE. I have been developing GWT applications for about a year using EE, but I am doing a clean install on a new machine, and I like to keep things simple as possible so I would like to use only SE if possible.

What do you mean by "install Java EE"? AFAIK Java EE is only a set of APIs.

Or are you talking about "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" ? You can use "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" but if you want to use the Google Plugin for Eclipse you'll just have to install a few more plugins (that are bundled with the "for Java EE" distribution)

If you have questions about the Google Plugin for Eclipse, they have their own forum: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/google-plugin-eclipse

(note: the GPE is a different product than GWT; GPE is made by Google while GWT is a "community driven" project; developers are not the same, GPE also has its own issue tracker, etc.)

 

Also, It looks like I can now use the most recent version of Java, 1.7. Is this true?

You can use a JDK 7 but for now you still have to target Java 6. The next version of GWT will fully support Java 7 though (the language & the bytecode).
