Re: GWT/Maven development cycle takes much too long

There may be some misunderstandings:

The question scope=provided or not affects the dependency for my own library "my-lib" in the pom.xml of my application "my-app".

• If I remove it, the "Failed to copy file for artifact" returns (= problem 1).
  
• If I keep it, the external libraries referenced by "my-lib" (like postgresql-40.0.0.jar) don't get copied into the WEB-INF/lib folder of "my-app" (problem 2).

So by changing scope=provided I can only choose between problem 1 and problem 2.

Yep, between one correct build that doesn't import in Eclipse (because of Eclipse), or an "incorrect" build (from your requirements).

 

Now you said that problem 2 isn't a problem, because the external libraries are provided at runtime, e. g. by Tomcat.

No.

I'm saying you should not use scope=provided if that's not what you want (and it's not what you want, so don't use it), and find a solution (or workaround at least) for the Eclipse issue, which is BTW unrelated to GWT I believe.

You should IMO focus on the Maven part and get it right; then make it work in/with your IDE (and fully understand –and document– the changes you'll possibly need to make to make it work).
