Afters struggling for almost 3 days, I finally got some vaadin add-ons working for me.
No matter what I did, I could not get maven to compile the custom widget sets :'-(
Wanting to do it with maven I started off with the instructions at
http://dev.vaadin.com/wiki/Articles/MavenIntegration.
I got error messages like:
Failed to load the widgetset:
/my-project/VAADIN/widgetsets/my.company.my.project.widgetset.My_ProjectWidgetset/
my.company.my.project.widgetset.My_ProjectWidgetset.nocache.js?1270654337749
Building it with the eclipse plugin said:

Done.
Starting GWT compiler
Widgetset compilation completed
But when running the webapp, I got:
Widgetset does not contain implementation for org.vaadin.browsercookies.BrowserCookies. Check its @ClientWidget mapping, widgetsets GWT module descrioption file and re-compile your widgetset. Unrendered UIDL:
org.vaadin.browsercookies.BrowserCookies(NO CLIENT IMPLEMENTATION FOUND) id=PID7
variables

I thought that it was building, since the addons that I wanted to use got detected.
Little did I know that it was not actually building!

The reason it was not building was because I was trying to use the stable version of the gwt-maven-plugin: 1.2
After reading this forum post again, I tried 1.3-SNAPSHOT of this plugin; and all my troubles went away.So now I build it with maven, and it should give output like this:

To be able to serve my webapp using tomcat launched from eclipse I need to compile the GWT stuff into src/main/webapp . So unlike the instructions I mention at the top of this post, some key parts of my pom is as follows:
