gwt arquillian webdriver test does not run - gwt

Question

I tried to write a simple demo-testcase, to try out arquillian webdriver.
My pom looks like:

This seems to be due to a version conflict in http-client, but calling:
$ mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose | grep client
only returns a single version: org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient 4.1.2
I am stuck on this for a couple of days now.
Does anyone have a working combination of versions? or, is there a general approach to solve those issues with maven?
Googling the exception-line seems to indicate that quite a few people are experiencing the same problem, but I could not find a satisfactory answer. Additionally, this info seems to get out-of-date really quickly.

Answer 1

com.google.gwt:gwt-dev contains its own (old) version of Apache HttpClient; this is why it's recommended not to include it in your classpath and/or separate your GWT client code and your server code in separate Maven modules.
If you can't fix the dependency easily, then you should be able to use the JarJar Maven Plugin or the maven-share-plugin in an intermediate artifact to relocate the offending classes.
