That's exactly the problem ... you shouldn't *have* to compile with ant first. If you need to compile ant first for something to work, then it means that thing is not running in development mode, it's running in compiled (production) mode. The whole point of devmode is to avoid having to make a production compile (which takes about a minute) when you want to test changes.
If you put the gwt.codesvr on the end of the URL, you shouldn't need to run ant in order to get the reliable behaviour.
