If the text file is part of your GWT project, you can include it in a ClientBundle. If it's not part of your project, then the RequestBuilder sounds like the right answer.

String greetings = Assets.INSTANCE.greetings().getText();
final Greeter greeter = new Greeter();
greeter.loadGreetings(Arrays.asList(greetings.split("\\n")));
