Using superdevmode from eclipse when project is split in server/client/shared

Question

I currently have 3 eclispe projects in my gwt based solution.

Client which only contains the java/gwt client code. It contains no server code at all.

Server which contains all the server code. It contains a bit of gwt code, in order to support gwt-rpc

Shared which contains the classes which are send between the Client and the Server using gwt rpc. Both Client and Server have a dependency on Shared.

This setup worked fine with gwt 2.6 using Dev Mode, but I really need to upgrade to gwt 2.7 and super dev mode.

So I installed the newest version of the gwt plugin. Removed gwt 2.6 from the plugin, and added gwt 2.7 from a local install.

But if right click on the Client project, and choose "Run as Web application (Super Dev mode) I just get the following exception:

Running GPE launcher for GWT-2.6.x version.

I got it to work. The main issue was that the Shared project still referenced gwt 2.6, instead of gwt 2.7 which caused cascade of failures.
