GWT Eclipse and testing with Parallels

I use Parallels to run IE6, 7 and 8 for testing my GWT site. I use Bonjour to easily find my local server running on the mac without fiddling with ip addresses that change often. From a windows VM I use something like http://my-computer-name.local:8888/?gwt.codesvr=my-computer-name:9997"

Suddenly after upgrading GWT to 2.0.2 this stopped working - at least the GWT part did but the page still loaded.

The trick is to add an argument to the launch config: -bindAddress 0.0.0.0

Seems that 2.0.2 added a new feature to only bind to localhost by default.
