How to run a Ext GWT (GXT) application with Maven

Question

I am trying to make a GXT 3.0 starting app with Maven support. I have successfully compiled and run the native GWT application with mvn gwt:compile gwt:run command

Howeven, when I added these dependecies:

<dependency>
 <groupId>com.sencha.gxt</groupId>
 <artifactId>gxt</artifactId>
 <version>${gxt.version}</version>
 <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sencha.gxt</groupId>
    <artifactId>gxt-uibinder</artifactId>
    <version>${gxt.version}</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sencha.gxt</groupId>
    <artifactId>gxt-chart</artifactId>
    <version>${gxt.version}</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sencha.gxt</groupId>
    <artifactId>uibinder-bridge</artifactId>
    <version>2.4.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

and added this in the gwt.xml (module) file:

<inherits name="com.sencha.gxt.ui.GXT" />

I am getting this error (running the same mvn command as above):

GWT module com.sencha.gxt.ui.GXT not found

And looking from the Java build path of the project in the Maven Dependencies, I can see that the GXT jars have not been downloaded.

Full pom.xml here.

If you want the snapshot, make sure you have the repository tags for it as well, for wherever you are getting that build from. Otherwise use the latest release, 3.0.0-beta3.

If you are building your own local copies, or deploying to an internal repo, then 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT should work - make sure the jar can be found in your repo, and that you aren't running as offline.
