maven dependency not found in repository - gwt

Question

I'm trying to run the project, which uses gwt-dev.
The instructions are at: http://neiliscoding.blogspot.ru/2012/05/how-to-setup-examples-for-use-in-gxt-3.html?showComment=1362999279386
when I create dependency in terminal like: mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.google.gwt -DartifactId=gwt-dev -Dversion=2.5.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile='/home/mikhail/Загрузки/libraries/gwt-2.5.0/gwt-dev.jar'
and add dependency to the pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
<artifactId>gwt-dev</artifactId>
<version>2.5.0</version>
</dependency>
maven says:
[WARNING] You should not declare gwt-dev as a project dependency. This may introduce complex dependency conflicts
Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/google/gwt/gwt-dev/2.5.0/gwt-dev-2.5.0-linux-libs.zip
[INFO] Unable to find resource 'com.google.gwt:gwt-dev:zip:linux-libs:2.5.0' in repository central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2)
else if I remove it maven says:
[INFO] using GWT jars from project dependencies : 2.5.0
Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/google/gwt/gwt-dev/2.5.0/gwt-dev-2.5.0-linux-libs.zip

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
So I have Build error in both cases. How to deal with such situation? help me please.
I didn't managed with this problem yet but I've just found that I used 1.2 version of maven plugin. I'm not shure it is the main problem, but I'd like to deal with it anyway. so, sinse I've added this plugin according to your first link, maven drops build error:
`

GWT stopped maintaining separate platform dependent libs for windows,linux and mac long time ago. GWT 1.7 was the last of such platform dependent libs. So "linux-libs" does not make sense in your error. I am guessing you are using a really old gwt-maven-plugin .
Move to latest gwt-maven-plugin.
Use <scope>provided</scope> for gwt-dev dependency to avoid it being pushed into WEB-INF/lib ( harmless but redundant )
Use global/central repository instead of installing it user repo locally.
You can also start off using GWT samples for maven projects here.
Note - your query might be a duplicate/similart to NetBeans + GWT 2.2.0 + Maven compile problem
Edit for new GWT release
GWT 2.5.1 has been released and also make note gwt-maven-plugin is of 2.5.0 ( 1 step behind GWT :)
