simplesample fails with "web.xml does not exist"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is this Maven 1 or Maven 2?

Maven 2

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. svn checkout
http://gwt-maven.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/maven-googlewebtoolkit2-plugin/simples
ample/
2. cd simplesample
3. mvn war:war

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Assuming that "mvn war:war" is the correct thing to do, I expect it to make
a .war, but I see this error:

[ERROR] BUILD FAILURE
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] The specified web.xml file
'/home/murrayc/gwt-maven-sample/simplesample/target/web.xml' does not exist

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Ubuntu Linux (Intrepid) 

Please provide any additional information below.

I assume that this is meant to work this way, but I don't have much clue.

Don't do that.  It's not intended for you to run the War plugin war goal 
directly. 
Try reading the file that has the name that indicates you should read it - 
README.txt. 

(You want mvn install, not mvn war:war.)
