I firstly generated a gwt maven project by executing --
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.codehaus.mojo -DarchetypeArtifactId=gwt-maven-plugin -DarchetypeVersion=2.7.0
After that, the pom.xml is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
Then I imported this project into eclipse via built-in eclipse function -- import existing Maven project.
However, the process failed due to several reasons:
GreetingServiceAsync
cannot be resolved to a type org.codehaus.mojo:gwt-maven-plugin:2.7.0:generateAsync
failed: Plugin org.codehaus.mojo:gwt-maven-plugin:2.7.0 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to collect dependencies for org.codehaus.mojo:gwt-maven-plugin:jar:2.7.0 () (org.codehaus.mojo:gwt-maven-plugin:2.7.0:generateAsync:default:generate-sources)
My environment as follows:
Please advice, thanks a lot!
I did another attempt to try in a win32 computer, the problem re-appeared even if I set up the environment as aforementioned working in my win64 computer.
So I really got confused, like Klarki said, I have to do some tweaks to get it work. I generated GreetingServiceAsync via mvn gwt:generateAsync then manually copy GreetingServiceAsync to source folder, then I remove <goal>generateAsync</goal>
in pom.xml, then import project via eclipse's existing maven project. It works again!
Sadly see it not working intelligently.
