Synchronization problems with maven and eclipse

Hello,

I am evaluating the interplay of maven and eclipse with two simple projects:
  • a simple GWT application based on the one created with webAppCreator
  • a simple library containing both, pure java code and GWT code 
During my evauation, I have seen several problems like this:

After making changes to the app or the library, which is used by the app, what should be done to get everything up to date?
  • cd lib; mvn clean compile package install
    or a subset of these?
  • cd app; mvn clean compile package gwt:devmode
    or a subset of these?
And in eclipse:
  • lib project: refresh and/or Maven -> Update Project ... and/or GWT -> compile?
  • app project: refresh and/or Maven -> Update Project ... and/or GWT -> compile?
Relating to the two projects in eclipse:
  • should the library project be defined as a "required project" on the build path of the app project?
  • should the jar file produced by the library project be added to the build path of the app project?
In essence: Should you "repeat" those dependencies in eclipse, allthough they are already defined in the pom.xml files?

For me, it's still unclear, how the development process looks like, especially when you have a separate library project.
Please show me, if this is written down somewhere.

Thanks
Magnus
