Debugging GWT client built with maven in Eclipse

[Russ]

Hi - I'm new to GWT and am trying to debug  a GWT client maven project in Eclipse. I imported the maven project, without errors. When I launch the debugger by right-clicking on the project -> Debug As -> web application, I see the launch URL in the google dev mode window.  When I open the URL in a browser, the project starts to compile and I see this:

The code server is ready at http://127.0.0.1:9876/

Code server started in 4000 ms

waited 1338 ms for code server to finish

My maven pom.xml references GWT 2.6 and I installed the latest Eclipse GWT plugin. Any ideas?

[Kirill Prazdnikov]

there is no reason using 2.6
try 2.8 rc3
