OK, finally got it to work, but had to add the following to my web.xml (so it was jetty all along), the webdefault didn't work

Aw thanks Thomas, I feel guilty to take so much of your time.I did just figure out the -war option but ran into another issue... I am running the jetty server from Intellij and the CodeServer with the no server and war options as suggested. However when it comes to updating the code (which it does ;-)) it gets stuck because the jetty server seems to be locking the directory. I am basically getting a [ERROR] Can't update launcher dir message. I guess this is something to do with Intellij and I need to look into it a bit more. I just mention it in case someone has had the issue before and is sympathizing with my problems ;-)

Sure I don't expect anyone to fix it for me, just to know if it is a problem my end or if I am trying to do too much with the embedded server indeed.I am happy with running an external server, however, it would be nice if I could get a similar level of debug functionality, ie breakpoint in server code, all the superdev mode feature, etc... Any good step by step manual? I tried the noserver flag (in Intellij) and running a server aside (as per GWT project page instructions) but it doesn't provide the goodies I mentioned previously, for instance, it doesn't update the client when I change it and reload it. To be honest, I can't really see how the magic would happen without some connection between the two. I am probably missing a key element/step :)Assuming a server setup that correctly reloads (redeploys the webapp) whenever server-side code (and/or resources) changes (this is outside the scope of GWT; same for debugging).You run CodeServer with launcherDir pointing to a folder served by the server (or DevMode with -noserver, and -war pointing to that same folder), it then generates a *.nocache.js file in the directory (and copies public resources there too).When you load your page in the browser, the *.nocache.js is loaded and triggers a compilation in the CodeServer.Whenever you change client-side code, refresh the page in the browser and it'll trigger a recompilation.Whenever you change server-side code, redeploy the webapp (depending on the setup, this can be entirely automatic, or involve some manual action).To debug client-side code, use the browser's devtools, or your usual SDM/IDE integration (I never used any, so can't really comment)When using my gwt-maven-archetypes for example, "mvn tomcat7:run" will automatically redeploy the webapp whenever resources or classes change in target/classes. Most IDEs will happily compile your code (automatically on save, or triggered by a keyboard shortcut) into target/classes, which would trigger a redeploy. "mvnDebug tomcat7:run" (or running the Maven goal for debug in your IDE; for example, in Eclipse, Debug As… → Maven… → tomcat7:run) allows you to debug your server-side code. And "mvn gwt:codeserver" launches SDM for the client-side code.AFAIK, the GWT Eclipse Plugin has some "one click" way of running both a server runtime (configured in Eclipse WTP) and SDM, and I'd assume that Eclipse is smart enough to make redeploying after changes either completely automatic or only a keyboard shortcut / click away.The "connections" you're talking about are the standard JDWP protocol for connecting to a JVM to debug the server-side code in the server runtime, and SDM with SourceMaps (and possibly a "remote debugging" protocol of your browser if you want IDE integration rather than debugging right in your browser).
