Yes,
I reed your article "Maven Archetype for App Engine" 2 days ago. Good
work. I know how hard is to resolve all this wrong/strange
dependencies in maven POM files in 3rd party projects.

However I don't understand mixing of AppEngine archetype what is
entity layer with technologies of FrontEnd layer. It will be nice to
have simple switch in standalone archetype that will use DataNucleus
as persistent layer and separate FrontEnd archetype for Google App
Engine. I guess is difficult job but I don't understand current
separation. We always had one entity tier and many possible FrontEnds.
Can you please explain in more details?

Because smartclient is based on GWT (we develop with GWT eclipse
plugin), we had also problems with war/WEB-INF/lib. We developed
special classloader which is loading classes from classpath as from
WEB classpath. This way we don't have to copy all jars to lib
directory. I will send mail when I commit it to SVN. Maybe it will be
also helpful for you. This way you can also setup dependency in web
tier project (smartclient for example) to entity tier project without
necessity to fully build entity project as JAR.

The frontend in the appengine archetype is only a quick start sample of Spring 3.0 REST controller and a few JSPs. I found it important to deliver something simple that could be deployed quickly. Separation is a good thing if you are doing something more serious.
