[...] Gunnar Wagenknecht has released another GWT Eclipse plugin. Gunnar had previously made some patches to the Googlipse project but has now decided to start his own. He has a nice screencast that shows the plugin in action. Source code is available. [...]

[...] Well, a while back I posted about a nice GWT plug-in called Googlipse. I liked it so much that I started enhancing it. So I created a local playground in my SVN repository and build a few things around it. [...]

Ok, updated the patch. I also recorded a small screen cast. However, please bear with me about the quality. I’m experimenting with the open source CamStudio version. But it’s rather poor.

BTW, until today I didn’t hear anything from the plug-in author. The patch is getting bigger now and it would be nice if I could know what he thinks about it. He didn’t respond to any of my mails so far.

Gunnar – thanks for clarifying, appreciate your help. However, even using two projects (one java-project, one web-project including the java-project) I still cannot see the GWT module in the list… Could you perhaps describe the steps needed to get set up deploying a project to an external server ?

Oh, now I understand what you want. Well, this is a feature which is not support yet. Logically speaking, you only need to include something that is not already there. So I might have to change the properties page as well (from a usability point of view).

Currently, the requirement for running inside an external application server is that all modules are defined in included projects. I think that is too strict. But hey, that’s also a good example of how Open Source development work. You need something, you implement it. I just didn’t need it.

OK, but if I just have one web-project, where I want to keep both my GWT client-stuff and my services (servlets).

If I create a web-project and add a new GWT module, it does not appear on the list of included modules by default. By manually adding the path of the gwt.xml-file to the includedModules-property it shows up, but it doesn’t get compiled (the gwt-hosted.jsp file etc gets put in place, but the gwt-compiler never kicks in).

Any ideas ?

Yes, sorry. I tried creating a screencast with Camstudio but I didn’t like it so I didn’t publish it. First you need to add the Java project as a utility jar to the web project. Right click on the web project and go to Properties. Select J2EE Dependencies and check the project that contains the modules. Then click Apply and OK and reopen the Properties page and go to the Googlipse properties. This time you click on Add… you should get a list of modules defined in the referenced projects.

Hi Gunnar,

First of all big thanks for putting this together. However, I do have a small problem. When I create a new project and add a new GWT Module I cannot add that module to the list of included modules for the project. When I go to the project properties / Googlipse the list of available modules is empty. Would you happen to know why this would happen ?

Thanks,

/Johan/
