Hello, Alex.

Thanks for useful plugin. I hope new version will correctly support JSNI(accessing java fields from JavaScript, etc).

Google has recently published a mac os x version of GWT but it is not working with this plugin. Please add os x support ASAP

Cheers

I am completely frustrated by this plug-in.

i get "Error: unable to find 'myclass.gwt.xml' in your classpath..."

i have no idea what is producing this error, as there is now way to turn on verbose output

the file is indeed in my class path

What is happening with the development of this plug-in.  It has been months since it's release, and there have been no updates.  GWT is a great framework and this is a good tool to allow GWT to work with Intellij, but there are lots of bugs and it could use improvement.

 Is this going to become open source?  I would really like access to fix some bugs.

I too am still getting "Error: unable to find 'myclass.gwt.xml' in your classpath..." for every module I create. It might be working noting that I started with creating the GWT "sample app" from the menu, and then altered it. Perhaps I need to start from scratch? I have one high-level module directory, which contains other sibling modules (xml files and java source). Could this be an issue for the plug-in?

The plug-in also reports errors regarding the assignment of style classes to widgets. I know that the style definition is in the correct CSS file. As proof, when I deploy the application to Tomcat, I see the generated widgets styled correctly. However in the IDE, it's reported as an unknown CSS style.

Thanks for the plug-in. Once some of these bugs are worked out, I see it being a great time-saver for me!

How could I submit patch? Compiled GWT files must be copied into <gwt.module.Name> subdir of webapp exploded dir:

--- GwtWebBuildParticipant.java
+++ GwtWebBuildParticipant.java.patched
@@ -42,11 +42,8 @@

   public void registerBuildInstructions(BuildRecipe buildRecipe, CompileContext context) {
     if (GwtConfiguration.getInstance().isValidConfiguration()) {
-      final GwtModule[] modules = GwtModulesManager.getInstance(myModule.getProject()).getGwtModules(myModule);
-      for (GwtModule module : modules) {
-        final File output = new File(GwtCompilerPaths.getOutputDirectory(myModule), module.getQualifiedName());

         buildRecipe.addFileCopyInstruction(output, true, myModule, "/", null);

     }
   }

Would it be difficult to fix the following issues :

1) Modules are always compiled, regardless whether the source was modified;
2) Editor displays errors about classes not being available in JRE emulation, however the source is present, it just lives in another module; (The GWT compiler does not complain);
3) On make, the GWT modules are always compiled; (the plugin setting 'do not compile on Make' does not work);

When I click the "+" button in Run...Edit Configurations, nothing happens.

I decided to uninstall and reinstall the GWT Studio plugin. I was able to uninstall it, but there doesn't seem to be an option to reinstall it. I'm running IDEA 6.04 on a Mac. How can I reinstall it?

It is impossinble to use -noserver option in Run/Debug configurations.

Any idea if a GUI builder for GWT is coming anytime soon?

It would be nice to extend the demo to show

- How to debug the application

- how to write the junit test on this application.

Any plans to update this to work with GWT 1.4?

It would seem that in 7.0 M2 the plugin doesn't merge the web.xml with stuff from the .gwt.xml. The servlets has to be moved manually. The maven plugin can do this, however.

This doesn't work with Intellij 7.0 RC 2 on a mac

It gives he following error:

[ERROR] Failure to load module 'com.hydrodesk.fucker.MyApplication'

The plugin is great. I have some suggestions, though:

• support for -noserver and other GWT shell command-line options would be more than useful
• most of the time I use GWT shell to load application from server to debug JSON-RPC calls and other server-side-related stuff; so it would be very convenient to allow "Startup URL" instead of "Startup filename" (and automatically add this URL to whitelist of course)
• JSNI constructs like @com.google.gwt.user.client.ClassName::doSomething(Ljava/lang/String(); still interpreted as errors; it doesn't affect compilation in any way, but just looks ugly

The GWT Studio plugin doesn't seem to work with modules defined within test sources. It attempts to compile these modules, but then complains that they are not on the classpath. E.g., I have:

java/Foo.gwt.xml (Source: this works)
javatests/FooTest.gmt.xml (Test Source: this doesn't)

Error: Unable to find 'FooTest.gwt.xml' on your classpath; could be a typo or perhaps you forgot to include a classpath entry for source?

+1 flash demo on unit testing GWT projects.
