In a perfect world I agree...
Untill then, something has to be done.
I searched ~/.m2/repository/com/google/gwt/ and there's not single  
script in there.
I know ant is old-fashioned but please... a script there would have  
made things very easy!

That seems like a non-trivial thing to do, at least their docs do not  
show the properties for such settings.

 From their documentation page:
   http://code.google.com/p/gwt-maven/
(supposedly)
I seem to find that there's a property for maven1 but not for maven2  
plugin:
   google.webtoolkit.output

a post-compile move is what we are trying to do without considering  
writing a plugin for such a task!
Following the curriki installation task-list.
   http://curriki.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/InstallationInstructions

where there are more of these manual moves which are fully natural  
things in a world that is almost perfect.

(wishing curriki went to maven-1.1! ;-))
