GWT Designer - no editor is opening up, no compile button is displayed - gwt

I have the following installed
GWT

I am able to use GWT Wizards to setup GWT projects, however, when I open a ui.xml file, I only get an XML editor (no designer). Also there is no GWT compile button anywhere. I have tried right clicking on the project but there is no Google menu there or any button in the toolbar.

first of all do you have designer plugin if not add it.
if u have the plugin then close the first tag of your web xml file. it will open up designer. For compilation write clickon project go to google option and then to gwt compile option to compile your project.

If you have correctly installed the GPE Plugins.
Right click the ui file
Open with
WindowBuilder Editor
Two tabs are located in the left-button corner. click Design.

Unable to integrate prime faces components into xhtml using eclipse

1.I am unable to integrate primeface components in palette tool in eclipse Luna.Can you suggest me fine solution for that?
2.when I was trying to drag and drop the primefaces components into xhtml webpage editor or jsp web page editor,its not happening.If at all the primeface components are added to JSP page webpage editor.The component that is dropped in webpage editor its not visible but its effecting the code .
this is the issue
The 'visual' jsf designer in eclipse (or any ide) is of limited use. It can only show basic jsf components and some older RichFaces ones if you install the jboss extensions. Since it is fairly easy to run an embedded container, displaying it in a real browser is the better solution. Automagically reloading a page in the browser when saving in the IDE is possible (search the internet for this)

How to create Eclipse GWT Designer Project, something is off?

After downloading the latest Eclipse (Luna 4.4.1), I installed the GWT / GWT designer plugin.
I concluded I that I am missing WindowsBuilderPro, and so I installed it via Eclipse Help->Install New Software.
Now I want to create a new GTW Designer project, and get the following choices, which I think are wrong:
Tutorials, perhaps older, show the following project choice:
Is my installation messed up? I reversed the installation order, and nothing changed.
Is GWT Designer out of date, should I no longer be using it?
I'm a bit more confused based on your answer (Phil). I found this presentation:
The Future of GWT, 2013 Report
and it shows:
Does GWT Designer still exist (2014) as something separate from UI Binder (I don't really want to do any HTML)?
If not, do I need the WindowBuilder plugin for UIBinder?
You don't directly create a GWT Designer project. Create a "Web application project" as displayed in your first screenshot. Then create a new "UiBinder":
It will create two files: one java file and one .ui.xml file.
When you will open the .ui.xml file, you will have two tabs at the bottom of the window: one for the code, and one for the graphic designer:

creating text based editor plugins for eclipse wizard page

I have developed an eclipse plugin project. I need a text editor that can save, copy, paste, search. This text editor must be inserted in the wizard pages which are developed using swt.
Any suggestions?
In a plug-in you can use the JFace org.eclipse.jface.text.TextViewer.
You will to provide save and search. TextViewer does support the interface required by the Eclipse org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.FindReplaceDialog.
If you really only want SWT code then use org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText

A complete tutorial about Eclipse Branding , Making your own eclipse

I want to make an eclipse like Flex Builder does, so all colors and controls will be defined by me.
I think this is known as Eclipse Branding. But I couldn't get the entire exact way of doing the eclipse branding in a larger prospect(how adobe did with Flex Builder or Google did with GWT)
Search for "Eclipse look&feel" and "Eclipse presentation factory".
And have a look at http://wiki.eclipse.org/RCP_Custom_Look_and_Feel
There are two articles to branding eclipse (only before version 4).
First to branding a simple feature:
http://ekkescorner.wordpress.com/2010/06/13/brand-your-feature-and-be-part-of-about-eclipse/
Second to branding a rcp application:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Branding/branding-your-application.html
( Additional it is important add to your MANIFEST.MF the line
Bundle-Localization: plugin
see here: Externalizing strings in plugin.xml for Eclipse plugin )

Create awt and lcdui custom component visual designer plugin for netbeans/eclipse

I'm trying to create an awt and an lcdui custom component visual designer plugin for Eclipse or NetBeans. Drag and drop functionality should be supported.
I have already found this http://wiki.netbeans.org/JavaMEComponent_VDComponentProject but I get some errors on the way and cannot complete the whole process described.
Any other links for Netbeans case?
I haven't discovered anything concerning Eclipse. Any links please?
Google donated WindowBuilder pro to Eclipse, and it was available in the Indigo release (June 2010). See http://eclipse.org/windowbuilder/ and WindowBuilder Pro>Quick Start.
WindowBuilder comes with a set of toolkits already code that can be installed (Swing, SWT, eRCP, GWT). They are pluggable, so depending on your usecase you might be able to extend one of the existing toolkits or write your own (there must be docs for that somewhere :-)
