How to deploy in a gwt-maven project

Question

first of all, I'm not sure which folders and files i have to deploy in a gwt-maven project I've got: .gwt .settings bin src/main/java target war pom.xml

I'm pretty sure, I've to deploy the pom.xml somehow and the target folder. But my target folder doesn't contain a pom.xml which I need for deploying on a jetty server

Second: I've installed maven on my webserver, but apart from embedding the jetty-maven-plugin in the pom.xml (by org.eclipse.jetty jetty-maven-plugin ) I have absolutely no clue how to get this project running on a jetty server.

Can you explain what you mean by "deploy in a gwt-maven project". Do you mean to build a war and push it to a jetty instance running somewhere? — appbootup
I want to push it to a remote server. It doesn't have to be a war-file. — Frauke
Is jetty instance already running there or you need to stop the running one and start another one everytime? — appbootup

have the maven-jetty-plugin included in your pom , under plugins and then you can run it as

     mvn jetty:run
