java - GWT app - deploying on Tomcat or any other servlet container

Question

Is there a plugin for Eclipse GWT or any other method to automatically deploy and run GWT app on Tomcat (or any other Serlvet container)? For the moment the only method I know is copying the compiled classes into WEB-INF directory but this is an arduous work. Additionally you have to configure Apache Tomcat manually. I'd like to have something like in Eclipse Dynamic Web Project where you can run your servlets directly by spawning tomcat process.

Thanks

You could write an Ant task to deploy and run your GWT app. It could copy the files and then tell your servlet container to reload the latest files.
