Generated War file can't be deployed: gwt-dev included #52

Description

@ibonUrrutia

Grails version = 2.3.5
Grails GWT Plugin version = 1.0
GWT version = 2.5.1
Apache Tomcat version = 7.0.39

I made a Grails-GWT application with three modules and this configuration in BuildConfig.groovy:

plugins{
...
//For GWT
    build ":extended-dependency-manager:0.5.5"
    compile ":gwt:1.0",{
      transitive=false    
    }
}
...
gwt {
  version="2.5.1"
  gin.version="1.5.0"
}

I didn't have any problem while developing it (using grails run-app works perfectly). But, after generating a war with :

I tried to deploy it in Tomcat, and the gwt plugin can't be loaded:

Mar 12, 2014 9:45:02 AM org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader validateJarFile
INFO: validateJarFile(/opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.39/webapps/app-launcher/WEB-INF/lib/gwt-dev-2.5.1.jar) - jar not loaded. See Servlet Spec 2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending class: javax/servlet/Servlet.class
...
09:45:12.530 [localhost-startStop-1] WARN  o.c.g.g.p.DefaultGrailsPluginManager - WARNING: Plugin [gwt] cannot be loaded because its dependencies [{extendedDependencyManager}] cannot be resolved

Looking at the generated war file it includes in WEB-INF/lib this three jars:

gwt-codeserver-2.5.1.jar
gwt-dev-2.5.1.jar
gwt-servlet-2.5.1.jar

I thought that you only need gwt-servlet for deploying a GWT application. Looking at the Ivy dependencies, gwt-dev is included because gwt-codeserver depends on it.
Am I wrong? Why is included gwt-codeserver? Is this a bug?

NOTE: I tried many times cleaning and refreshing dependencies so I don't think that is a problem of my environment. I'm pretty sure that the GWT plugin is adding those jars when calling grails war.

Thanks in advance.
