GWT application in local tomcat: nocache.js 404 not found


Currently I'm trying to build (maven) and run (tomcat 6.0.36) a GWT application. The application is working great in eclipse, the build was successful. There are no issues during the tomcat startup.

When I call the landing page, i get a http 404 error, because the nochache.js file isn't there. It is correct there is no nochache.js file in the exploded war directory. But why? Any idea?
