Setup GWT and eclipse on windows - eclipse

I am looking to build a website in GWT top replace a couple of desktop apps we have here at work, I programmed in java 12 years ago so the code should not be a problem.
I am having problems with installation GET and Eclipse.
I seem that when you use the latest version of Eclipse (Juno 4.2) and try to use the GWt Plug in the installer process fail looking for very specific versions of libaries.
My question is "Is there a recommended version of eclipse and GWT that is not on the cutting edge and I can get to work with relative ease"

I hope this will help you for using GWT in Eclipse

Use this. Get the newest Eclipse "Juno" and choose the standard java version.
Now you need to use the proper link for the plug in. For Juno it is 4.2. If the guide in the link doesn't work, check your firewall.

Found the problem I used the standard and java versions of eclipse.. if you using the J2EE version everything runs as normal

Is there a proper step by step guide to installing and using PhoneGap?

Is it just me or the documentation for PhoneGap installation is ridiculous? The steps are all over the place and no clear path to installing and using it. I found a couple of decent guides for use on MAC but nothing that is clear for Windows.
Got frustrated and uninstalled everything, eclipse, cordova, ant, android.
I want to just restart fresh with a clean install. Can anyone show me to a guide which has a step by step guide to windows. Or maybe you could guide me to exactly which are the stuff I need to install for phoneGap to work? For example is ant(apache) even needed? Not every guide mentions it.
I believe over all, the steps includes 2 parts. 1 is installing the various components such as eclipse and so on. 2nd is to interlink all these various components.
Not exaggerating but I've been at this for a week plus now and have looked around for a clear instruction and found nothing. Please help.
PS: If PhoneGap can be installed and linked with NetBeans, it would be great to know exactly how. Tnks.
You have only java, javafx in netbeans because you installed netbeans java edition.
Cordova is in the HTML5 package which is included in other editions like java EE edition or php edition.
In your netbeans version, you have to install the plugin:
Tools->Plugins-Available plugins, check HTML5 and click install.
Then you should be able to use the New project->HTML5->Cordova application.
You will still need cordova, android, ant... but the difference is that netbeans should setup everything for you.
Sorry I can't confirm as I have installed everything before netbeans.

Failed to create javafx flatform in netbeans

I got this error when I'm trying to create a Java Swing Application, by using Netbeans.
I really don't know how to fix this error. Internet did't give me a really good answer.
I Unistalled Netbeans & then reInstalled. but It doesn't work.
How can I fix this error. Thank you.
I don't have a NetBeans installation at hand, but have a look at your Java installations configured in NetBeans ("Java Platform Manager" in Tools menu?). Select the Java version you are using. There should be a JavaFX tab. I think you can disable it there, if you don't need it.
Note: If you're using the latest Java version from Oracle, then JavaFX should automatically be configured correctly, since JavaFX is now shipped with the JDK.

Which eclipse version to install for developing in Android (Aug 2012)

This question is double, but no one asked it recently.
I want to use Eclipse for developing in Android and making webapps.
I used Indigo, but I see a lot of downloads on this page: http://eclipse.org/downloads/
Since my computer got stolen and I need to reïnstall everything, I thought, good time to ask.
Can anybody tell me which version is better to download and install?
And anybody any tips on the needed plugins?
Indigo is fine.
However, it might be in your best interest to download and install Juno. Juno's UI is slightly different than Indigo's, but it is the newest version of Eclipse (Juno is 4.x, whereas Indigo is 3.x).

Eclipse PHP IDE

Similar title but different question to
Eclipse PHP IDE - custom auto complete tags
Possible duplicate of
Getting started with PHP in Eclipse IDE
Doe's anyone know a tool / IDE / plugin in Eclipse for PHP development?
I already try the ZEND PDT but it seems that it has a bug and it doesn't install in my eclipse. I even follow this workaround in installing it but it still doesn't work.
My Eclipse verions is 4.1.2, OS is in Windows XP SP3.
The previous questions doesn't seems to have a solid answer. Please help. Thanks in advance.
Another very good IDE to devolpe in PHP is NetBeans:
http://netbeans.org/
I know you specifically asked for an Eclipse plugin, but let me take the liberty of recommending a non-Eclipse PHP IDE, because it's really good and deserves a mention here: PhpStorm from JetBrains.
If you're very keen on Eclipse, Aptana Studio is a good IDE based on the Eclipse code base.
Pardon a possibly dumb question, but why are you using Eclipse 4.1.2? I suspect that the problem is with a bug in the 3.x compatibility layer in that version.
Unless you have a real need to be using 4.1.2 (and since it was a beta, I'm not sure what that would be...), perhaps try again with 3.7.2, which is the version currently listed on the Eclipse download page[1].
Hope that helps!

what is the correct version of Eclipse for Coldfusion?

Usually when one wants to create a new file in the Eclipse IDE , Java, Javascript, Colsdfusion PHP etc are provided as the options for the new files.
I recently downloaded Eclipse for Coldfusion 8 and excecuted the file "software/dw/java/europa/J2EE-SDK-Europa-33-win32.zip" .
Now when I want to create a New File "only JAVA " option is available. There is no coldfusion or HTML!
So can any one provide me the Exact/correct link for Codfusion related Eclipse?
(On the Eclipse website there are many Eclipse related downloads but I am not sure which one is specific for Coldfusion.)
There's CFEclipse, a free, open-source Eclipse plug-in for working with CFML. And of course there's Adobe's ColdFusion Builder, a commercial product that works as either a plug-in for an existing Eclipse installation, or as a full stand-alone product (with Eclipse already baked in).
CFEclipse 1.3.6, the current stable version, works with Eclipse 3.4.x or 3.5.x. Here's the CFEclipse wiki.
The stated Eclipse versions required for ColdFusion Builder are 3.4.2 or 3.5. Here's Adobe's requirements page.
If you're using one of these as a plug-in and you don't need a lot of the other Eclipse features, the J2EE version of Eclipse is probably overkill (it's the biggest package). You can try out a more minimal Eclipse install, then update and add plug-ins as you need them. Try the Eclipse Platform Binary, for example.
There's also Adobe's ColdFusion Builder IDE specially created for this purpose. It proposes some features not available in CFEclipse, but not free (though there's a trial version available).
In addition to Ken's answer please note that you can already use preview builds of CFEclipse with latest Eclipse 3.6 Helios. I am using this configuration on daily basis and it is pretty stable and more efficient than previous version for me.
If you will expierience problems with preview builds, feel free to post them into the CFEclipse groups, developers usually react pretty quickly.
One more hint for you. Sometimes after installing the plugin via Add Sofware further updates do not work correcly. I've experienced this issue few times so it can be useful to know the solution.
To fix this check the Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites. If needed entry missing -- create it manually using the same update URL as for installation.
Also there's an Eclipse-based version of Adobe CF manual available, see this help page for details.
Hope this helps.
