How should I build a GWT application to a WAR file

Question

I have a GWT application that I need to deploy from a WAR file. I've got it kinda working using export to WAR option in Eclipse but after I deploy all of images in the application just show as missing image icon, and besides when we have multiple developers it is not nice to build from IDE this way.

I am looking for if there is a best way to script the build process that people have found (hopefully with an example) such as an Ant xml or any other GWT specific tools?

Answer 1

This tutorial provides step by step instructions for writing an ant script to build the war file including GWT specific compile steps and where/how to package static resources such as images.
