Developing GWT on Debian is going to be harder than most distros
simply because you won't have easy access to Firefox (Iceweasel
instead).

I guess that "easy" is relative. Download the gzipped tar, unpack into /usr/share as root, create a link in /usr/bin using update-alternatives. This does mean that the "check for updates" function must happen as root.

Make that /usr/local/bin
 

Same for Eclipse.

I know it works fine with OpenJDK.

Good to know. Thanks for the data point.
