Spring 3.1: GWT Maven Plugin and GWTHandler Integration (Part 1)

In this tutorial, we will create a simple GWT application and integrate it with Spring. We will use GWTHandler to map GWT's RPC services to Spring beans, and utilize the GWT Maven plugin to manage and build our project. Our application is a Hello World-style application that you typically when creating a new GWT project.
