GWT / Eclipse, waiting for launch urls... WHY?

Every time I start my GWT app in Eclipse, there is a message that says "Waiting for launch URLs", and then a random wait. It's as if it talks to a Google site informing it that I'm running a GWT app. Or perhaps an XML doc is fetching a template of sorts.

What the heck is it doing? My interne开发者_如何学Pythont connection sucks and the wait is sometimes over 10 seconds. Can I make it stop doing this and not have it "wait" for whatever it's "waiting" for?

GWT does check for to see if there's an updated version available, but that's done in a separate thread.

Wild guess: Do you experience delays if your machine is completely disconnected from a network? It smells a little like a DNS timeout, since generating the launch URL involves asking for the local machine's hostname. If your system's name resolver were misconfigured, that could explain why there's an initial delay before a negative result is cached locally.
