Q: 

What Files to Deploy to Tomcat?

What files do I need to have to deploy a GWT web app to Tomcat, preferably in a War?

Can't quite distinguish if Build.xml is actually needed when there is already a 'war' folder when you create a new app via the wizard in Eclipse.

Can someone advise?

+2  A: 

With recent versions of GWT (1.6 and up, maybe even 1.5) you only need to include what's in the war folder. You can just war up that folder (zip it up and give it a .war extension).

If you're using the Google Plugin for Eclipse, you may even be able to try right-clicking on the project and selecting "Export -> WAR" (I'm not really sure about this though, I'll verify when I get into work, in about an hour).

You definitely do not need build.xml in there.

export -> WAR is definitely OK

Can't find export to War in the list?

Export WAR actually didn't work for me (you need to have the WTP extensions for Eclipse to use it). I can select it, but it's not exporting the correct files, as it doesn't seem to understand Google's project structure. Let me look into this further.
