Support for Super dev mode

[ridoo]

I am currently trying to setup my (multi-module) Maven project to be run/debugged via Netbeans+nb4gwt. As far as I understood how superdevmode works this should already be possible via configuration. Actually nb4gwt can't do much here as superdevmode requires two things:

1. a running code server, running the UI code (startup via Maven goal)
2. a running servlet container, running the actual Java server backend

I'd say that it is sufficient to run the GWT UI code via custom Maven goal gwt:run-codeserver. This would startup the code server (by default at http://localhost:9876 (the sites where you get the superdevon/off bookmarklets on). Here you can recompile the gwt module. The server part is run separately via tomcat.

I need the same functionality too the problem for me is that I don't have to forget this thing. First run codeserver and then build and then run jetty it would be better if we can use this as dependencies and I think a started codeserver is a dependency. IntelliJ there is an option for use super dev mode and they will start the codeserver so I don't have to do anything. This functionality and options inside the project property panel would be very helpful. At the moment I only create goals for this and my knowledge of maven is not so good atm.

If you have a look here: http://wiki.netbeans.org/VaadinPlugin you can see that this is also implemented into the vaadin plugin (for example embedded jetty and run with dev or super dev mode) but I can't use it for a maven web application project because vaadin creates a new project type for this. So I don't have the option for a maven web application.
