Spring-roo (link) have these features, and if you want you can remove spring-roo from your project and remains a java-spring project.

roo> jpa setup --provider HIBERNATE --database HYPERSONIC_IN_MEMORY         
roo> entity jpa --class ~.Timer --testAutomatically
roo> field string --fieldName message --notNull
roo> hint web mvc
roo> web mvc setup
roo> web mvc all --package ~.web
roo> selenium test --controller ~.web.TimerController

roo> web gwt all --proxyPackage ~.client.proxy --requestPackage ~.client.request          
roo> perform tests
roo> quit

As you can see : create the project, setup jpa provider, create Entity, create MVC Controller, the Tests and some GWT setup.
