I haven't forgotten

I'm still working out some of the kinks on the maven-spring-gwt integration. There have been a few bumps, mostly with preconceived notions about how I want things to work. After going through this integration project, I think my top items from a technology wish list point of view are:

1. Better Maven documentation. I love Maven. Version 2.0.6 seems to be working better than ever. The downside is that some features just aren't that well documented. At one point I wanted a project that resulted in building both a .war and .jar file. The war file would be the complete web application whereas the jar file would be just the java code. I didn't find an easy way to do this. Anybody know how?
2. GWT widget mapping. I have several pages on my application that already contain forms and form validation functionality. What I really want to do is add a GWT widget to the page that can respond to keyboard events on the form. I'm sure there's a way to do this, but I was hoping it would be as simple as creating a textbox widget and configuring it to map to a textbox already rendered on the page. I will definitely circle back on this issue.

I have everything basically working now, it will only be a little while longer before I start posting my tutorial.
