Plugin is not same as the SDK. Plugin just makes it easy to work with GWT projects. The actual GWT compiler and libraries are present in the SDK which needs to be downloaded separately.

I had the same problem.

If you do not want to use GWT just uncheck the "Use Google Web Toolkit" checkbox on that same dialog. You do not need this turned on in order to create a New Web Application Project.

I personally think it was confusing that the checkbox for GWT is turned on by default, even if you don't have one installed.

The SDK that you installed with your eclipse plugin should be sufficient.
