How to access GWT designer view on eclipse - eclipse

I havent yet found a way to view GWT designer mode. I have installed gwt sdk, gwt designer and window builder on eclipse 4.2. View my installation details:
I Can open a java file using window builder but cant see the source and design tabs at the bottom:
Somebody help me figure out how to access designer mode.

right click on the file and select open in designer

Right click on your uibinder file (ui.xml). Then select windowbuilder. You may need to click "other" and then select windowbuilder from the list.

Turns out its a bug and i was able to access designer mode by clicking switching between to a different layout under Google > Web Toolkit > Designer preferences
Thanks for providing answers guys :)

How can I set UI interface of Eclipse in undock mode as in Netbeans?

There is an option in Netbeans that allows for a section of their UI interface to have its own window, allowing me to drag it to another monitor (see this link and appended picture).
I have search in Eclipse for this same behavior but unfortunatly I haven't found it.
Is this feature available in eclipse (natively or by plugin)?
You can do that in eclipse natively. just drag the view outside you'll get the same behavior. I use eclipse 4.6. I remember seeing this from 4.4.

What is this Eclipse view and how to implement it in other Eclipse-based products?

In Flash Builder 4.6's code assist, there is this extra box on the right of the classes, outlined in red, (image: http://oi42.tinypic.com/rqyuqq.jpg) that pops up when using the default Flex SDK. What is it called?
I find this feature very useful and wondering where I can get more information to implement a similar one in another Eclipsed-based IDE that I'm using.
this window is called JavaDoc View
http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.jdt.doc.user%2Freference%2Fviews%2Fref-view-javadoc.htm
any developer that uses the eclipse IDE knows this windows, it's shown the javadoc content of selected element,
it's part of Eclipse Java development tools (JDT)

Building a GWT UI in Eclipse

I want to try and build a UI using this GWT designer tool I read about. I have GWT tools installed, created a "Google -> Web Application Project" but I don't see any means to build a UI except via code.
I tried installing the plugin
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/inst/d2gwt/latest/3.7
but it fails ( Not sure if I need this or not )
This is the tutorial I was looking at ..... How do I get this UI design view?
https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/tools/gwtdesigner/quick_start
Another alternative to using the GWT Designer, if you don't want to use UiBinder, is
In Eclipse, right-click view class in Package Explorer
Open With
GWT Designer
Select the Designer tab at the bottom of the class window.
First from new file dialogue ( Ctrl + N ) create a UiBinder file (xxx.ui.xml):
Then select "Design" from left bottom of opened file in eclipse.

How to display editor tabs on the side of the editor pane in Eclipse?

In Eclipse Indigo (I'm on 3.7.2), is it possible to move the editor tabs from the top of the editor pane to the side of the editor pane, creating a vertical stack of tabs? This would allow many more tabs to be seen at once. Given my widescreen display and the large number of active files I am switching between this would be a useful configuration. I cannot find a setting or a plugin that will do so.
Not possible yet. See here and here
I got fed up with not being able to do this and wrote an eclipse plugin. You can find it in the marketplace at: https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/open-editors
Here is a screenshot
I do not know of a plugin which would allow one to do this.
This (
In Eclipse, can I view the files I currently have open in a vertical stack instead of a horizontal one?) confirms the same unfortunately.
I just searched a bit. I can see a lot of talk about having multi-line tabs, but vertical tabs don't seem to come up a lot.
The Open-Editors plugin has issue
Works well on Windows10 + Eclipse 4.8 + OpenJDK11. 100%
Have just tested. Dont forget to link your Eclipse to JDK-11

Install Plugin

In GWT 2.1.0.M2 the options "-style pretty" couldn't be recognized

I am using GWT eclipse plugin and try to add option "-style pretty" inside arguments tab of debug configuration window in eclipse. But after click debug it just prompts "Unknown argument: -style".
I used to use webcreator to create gwt app. this is my first time to use plugin and i am not sure i put it into the right place or gwt 2.1.0.M2 just doesn't support this option (which is wired). Please help me thanks in advance.
Just found out when you right click the project and choose google->compile, a window will show up and there is a drop down list box which you could choose style level such as pretty or detailed. Sometimes the easy thing is hard to find......
