I have a requirement to use highest possible GWT version which support Dev mode debugging as well as Java 1.8
The latest version (2.8.1) still suports DevMode.
2.8.2 supports 1.8 and debugging in browser is well supported

The download page at SpringSource (http://spring.io/tools/ggts/all) doesn't seem to make previous versions of GGTS available, but I want to have this version to be able to toggle between the Groovy 2.0.7 and Groovy 2.1.8 compilers.
As a potential solution, I searched for mirrors, but was unable to find any. In addition, I also checked GitHub for the GGTS source for this release so I could compile it myself, but I didn't find that either.
You can change the version directly in the URL so this one should work:
http://download.springsource.com/release/STS/3.5.1/dist/e4.4/groovy-grails-tool-suite-3.5.1.RELEASE-e4.4-win32-x86_64.zip
I hope that helps.
The GGTS 3.5.1 32bit version is here:
http://download.springsource.com/release/STS/3.5.1/dist/e4.4/groovy-grails-tool-suite-3.5.1.RELEASE-e4.4-win32.zip
It has grails-2.3.8, tomcat 6 and 7.
I have the task to do some work on our GWT 2.2 code base with
the GWT Config, etc, used, is long gone. And I must use Eclipse Kepler.
Does current GWT provide backward compatability that far?
Any thoughts?
The version of the Eclipse plugin is independent of the version of the SDK you use in your project. You can use the newest plugin with GWT projects that needs older versions of the SDK.
You have to set this up in the project properties.
I've installed JDK7 java version and selected version 7 as the JVM in Eclipse. The version of compiler remains being 1.6 and it doesn't shows a greater version.
Is it correct?
Thanks
Current version of Eclipse (3.7) does not support compiling Java 7 sources yet. The support is coming in 3.7.1 update soon. You can run your application with Java 7 JRE, but there is no support for compilation at the moment.
Which eclipse version is good for testing with Testng?
I've used the Eclipse plugin with 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6. I've been using the update site http://beust.com/eclipse as recommended in the documentation.
Eclipse 3.3 and below
Eclipse 3.4 and above

I am actively using InteliJ Idea to develop tests with TestNG.

I'm developing an Eclipse plug-in, based on a bunch of core Eclipse plug-ins like SWT, JDT, GEF and others.
I need my plug-in to be compatible with Eclipse 3.3, since many potential customers are still using it. However, personally I like the new features in Eclipse 3.4 and would like to use it for my development. This means I need PDE to reference 3.3 code and, when debug, execute a 3.3 instance.
Any tips on how this can be achieved?
Thanks.
You can change the 'Target platform' setting to point to the location of an existing set of eclipse 3.3 plugins. This will compile your code against the 3.3 plugins, making sure that they stay compatible no matter which version of eclipse you are using to develop the application.
The setting is under Window->Preferences->Plug-in development->Target Platform
What Barak said. See also this topic on Eclipse help:
http://help.eclipse.org/stable/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/guide/tools/preference_pages/target_platform.htm
Note also:
the default target platform is your Eclipse install
your dev environment should be at least as recent as the target platform (i.e. you cannot use 3.3 as dev environment and target 3.4)
this also allows you to develop against plug-ins you don't have in your development Eclipse install.
And is it no way how to develop plugin for newer palfrom? Eg.: develop new plugin for 3.5 into 3.4...
