I have GWT 2.3 installed; Today I tried to update the FF dev plugin but since it was updated it says
"This add-on will be installed when Firefox is restarted"
... but each time I restart FF I can see the same note :( So restarting does not make any effect I tried more than 5 times yet :S Before the update attempt all worked fine.
The plugin link is https://dl-ssl.google.com/gwt/plugins/firefox/gwt-dev-plugin.xpi but maybe the plugin version is somehow is not for my GWT 2.3? I am not pretty sure here :S
So my question is can I rollback the new fail installed plugin or what should I do to restore my previous FF dev plugin?
Need more information to properly answer. But I'm going to assume you are using Firefox 11 and the browser plugin won't install. You can install the GWT plugin for FF11 from here: http://acleung.com/gwt-dev-plugin-ff11.xpi
Google tends to lag behind by a few weeks when new Firefox releases come out as the plugins have to go through proper testing before they are pushed to the official "missing plugin" page. To get the latest plugin when a new version of Firefox comes out, check out the Google Groups for GWT, as Alan Leung (a GWT dev) will post the latest builds within a day or so of release.

I started developing in Codename One a few days ago, using IntelliJ, but since it was causing some problems, I decided to try it with Eclipse.
I got a fresh install of Eclipse Proton for Java developers on my Mac Pro running OS Sierra 10.12.6 and I can't install the Codename One plugin.
I can find it in the marketplace, but when I try to install it starts the process but soon stops and pops this message. After I press ok, I can select features to install as seen here. After I press Confirm it does nothing, and presents this. I have already installed other plugins successfully, this is the only one giving me troubles.
I tried accessing that link but it leads to a standard 404 error page on codenameone's website.
I can't seem to find a way around this, as even trying to install the plugin through Eclipse marketplace website leads to this error.
Any help is appreciated :)
I have been working on a browser plugin for windows which involves displaying camera output in browser. Presently I'm working on Windows 7. After plugin installation, I want to start the plugin immediately without restarting the browser. I noticed that as soon as plugin is registered, it started working in Google Chrome Version 24.0.1312 as well as in Internet Explorer 9. But it fails to do so in Mozilla Firefox 18.0.1. Can anyone help me solve this problem of restarting the browser after plugin installation. And will this problem occur in MacOS as well?
Thanks
You need to do a navigator.plugins.refresh(false); in javascript to tell the browser to rescan the plugins.

Right now I am setting up Motodev.
Its a Android Development Suite built on Eclipse, created by Motorola.
What is needed is the Android SDK. Check, got that, newest version, everything is set with that.
Now it says I need the ADT Eclipse plugin. Version 20.0.1, currently mine is v18.
I know where to get it, I can easily get it, but I am curious, where should it be installed? Currently I dont have eclipse I am just using MotoDev. But since Motodev asks where the SDK location is, and says my ADT plugin is out of date, I am assuming I have to install the ADT in the SDK directory. But is there somewhere more specific to put it? In a specific folder? or just in the top level of the SDK directory?
Thanks for your time.
Unfortunately, you can't use ADT20 with MOTODEV Studio 4.0. The plugins had some API changes between 18 and 20 that made them incompatible with each other. You will need to roll your SDK back to 19 until we can release a newer version. I wrote about this about a week ago on the MOTODEV Studio blog.
We're done with the engineering work on the new version. It's just a matter of getting the push to the web server scheduled. I expect it to be ready by late next week or early the following week.
Until then, if you need to use ADT20 for Jellybean development, use Eclipse for Mobile Developers plus the MOTODEV Core Plugins (using Help>Eclipse Marketplace). Most of the functionality of the installed product is there, but without the dependency on ADT. See the blog for details on how to set that up.
How can I find which version of Firefox does the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin support ? I can't find it anywhere.
As Firefox now has it small development cycle, it could be nice if Google point us to a page where we could find the supported browsers versions.
For information :
I'm using Firefox version 5.0 with no problem.
I saw on Google Groups people saying that the version 8.0 works too.
Actual version of Firefox is 11.
EDIT 1 :
Last supported version can be found here http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt/update.rdf as suggested by Thomas.
<em:minVersion>3.0</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>16.0.*</em:maxVersion>
EDIT 2 :
The file pointed in EDIT 1 do not seems to exist anymore, so the best shot it looking at the commits logs, here : https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/list
ex:
r11637 update for Firefox 23 / Mac
r11636 update for Firefox 23 on Windows
The DevMode plugin supports all versions of Firefox from 3.0 to 11.0: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/source/browse/trunk/plugins/xpcom/prebuilt/update.rdf
There's always some lag after a Firefox version is released, but a preliminary version of the DevMode plugin is generally available "unofficially" from the GWT Google Groups a few days (or even hours) after the Firefox release, pending code review before it graduates to the SVN repository. The problem is that the plugin has to be recompiled against the updated Gecko SDK, which is released a few hours or days after Firefox.
…and then the http://gwt.google.com/missing-plugin/ also lags a few days/hours behind (it hasn't yet been updated for Firefox 11 at the time I write), but the plugin for Firefox 11 can be downloaded from the SVN repository.
Mozilla is hiding their ftp server with "old" releases pretty good.
Here is the URL: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/11.0/

I am using Windows XP SP2 and Chrome (version 9.0.597.19) but every time I run gwt in developer mode I see:
"Development Mode requires the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin..."
No matter how many times I install it.
How can it be that gwt developer mode is not running in google's own chrome in xp sp2?? This is outrageous??!! It is working in FF but is very slow.
Do you have Click-to-activate-plugins enabled in Chrome? I had, and I had to click on the little puzzle piece in the URL-bar and select that all plugins may run on 127.0.0.1.
Google Web Toolkit plugin is for Firefox 3.5.x and 3.6.x and
probably Google Chrome 7. I'm also using Chrome (version 9.0.597.19) which doesn't support GWT plugin
I was having this same problem. Every time I clicked "Download the GWT Developer Plugin
For Chrome" it would start to load and then just stop without anything happening. Eventually I opened the link in a new tab and got a captcha with this message:
"Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot."
Maybe you are having the same problem?
