GWT: Maven error: jar must be 'pom' to import the managed dependencies

I made a sample GWT app using webAppCreator.

When running any mvn command, for example mvn package, I am getting this error:

[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[ERROR] [ERROR] Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs:

The [WARNING] line says everything - you need to add <type>pom</type> to dependencyManagement in your pom.xml.

Open your pom.xml and change the following part:

  <dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
      <!-- ensure all GWT deps use the same version (unless overridden) -->
      <dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
        <artifactId>gwt</artifactId>
        <version>${gwtVersion}</version>
        <scope>import</scope>
        <type>pom</type>
      </dependency>
    </dependencies>
  </dependencyManagement>

to:

  <dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
      <!-- ensure all GWT deps use the same version (unless overridden) -->
      <dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.gwt</groupId>
        <artifactId>gwt</artifactId>
        <version>${gwtVersion}</version>
        <scope>import</scope>
      </dependency>
    </dependencies>
  </dependencyManagement>

This is a known bug in webAppCreator: https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=9054 . Update GWT to latest version. (Thanks Thomas Broyer).
