GWT Maven hosted mode - gwt

Question

After some tries, I don't get to make the hosted mode to work with maven. My pom.xml is the following and I'm using a standard maven structure:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>gwt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
<goal>i18n</goal>
<goal>generateAsync</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<draftCompile>true</draftCompile>
<strict>true</strict>
<inplace>false</inplace>
<runTarget>project.html</runTarget>
<style>${gwt.style}</style>
<i18nMessagesBundle>com.domain.client.i18n.Messages</i18nMessagesBundle>
<i18nConstantsBundle>comdomain.client.properties.ClientProperties</i18nConstantsBundle>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>exploded</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Any ideas?

Here is the POM I used in a presentation today that works if you want to compare them: https://github.com/checketts/gwt-spring-demo/blob/master/pom.xml.

I noticed two missing tags <outputDirectory> under build and <module> under gwt-maven-plugin configurations.
Also reference - http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/samples/dynatablerf/pom.xml
<build>
<!-- Generate compiled stuff in the folder used for development mode -->
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/WEB-INF/classes</outputDirectory>

Try adding these configuration entries :
<warSourceDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/webapp</warSourceDirectory>
<webappDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}</webappDirectory>
<hostedWebapp>${basedir}/src/main/webapp</hostedWebapp>
The last one may be the real needed one actually
