Some suggestions (that have been already mentioned in this thread a while ago):

1, use gwt-maven-plugin 2.5.1 instead of 2.4.0
   in root pom.xml change
   <gwt-maven-plugin.workingRefresh.version>2.4.0</gwt-maven-plugin.workingRefresh.version>
   to
   <gwt-maven-plugin.workingRefresh.version>${gwt.version}</gwt-maven-plugin.workingRefresh.version>

2, disable GWT persistent unit cache
   in frontend/webadmin/modules/pom.xml find <artifactId>gwt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
   add <persistentunitcache>false</persistentunitcache> to <configuration>
   -or-
   make gwt-debug [usual options] DEV_EXTRA_BUILD_FLAGS="-Dgwt.persistentunitcache=false"

3, try out GWT Super Dev Mode
