I am following GWT tutorial from code.google.com. I build an application using webAppCreator & try to run it from command line using ant devmode. It raises this error, ant is not recognized as an internal or external command
Try using the eclipse plugin. You can download eclipse for free by clicking here
Then click "help" and "install new software". Enter this link: http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.6
Just click next, next and restart eclipse.
If you really want to use the command line you should add your sdk path to your computer variables but I don't know the exact setup anymore.

The question is self explanatory, when I run my demo-html project as a Web Application and I open Chrome with the provided link by eclipse, my browser doesn't show the image it is supposed to show in a new project.. However, the tab displays the correct title "Demo". Can somebody help me with this?
Eclipse after Running the project:
And Chrome running the app:
You don't run it as web application. The simplest way is to run
gradle html:superDev
in command line. I'm not very familiar with Eclipse, so here a guide how to run it via IDE from the wiki:
Right click the html project, Run As -> External Tools Configuration. Create a new configuration by double clicking the Program entry in the left sidebar. Give the configuration a name, e.g. GWT SuperDev. Set the location field to the gradlew.bat (Windows) or gradlew (Linux, Mac) file. Set the working directory to the root folder of your project. Specify html:superDev as the Argument. Press 'Apply', then 'Run'. Wait until you see the message The code server is ready. in the console view, then open the URL http://localhost:8080/html. You can leave the server running. If you change code or assets, simply click the SuperDev Refresh button in the browser. This will recompile your app and reload the site.
In IntelliJ you can trivially run the gradle task itself.
Title says it all.
I want to run the console command mvn clean install on my project in question directly in Eclipse, not from the command line.
It would just be more convenient for me to do this, as I already have the project open in Eclipse. It would save me time if I would not have to navigate to the folder in Windows Explorer.
Not a big deal if I can't do this... but can I? And if so, how?
It would be great if I could just right click my project, then click "mvn clean install" from the context menu.
I use eclipse STS, so the maven plugin comes pre-installed. However, if you aren't using STS (Springsource Tool Suite), you can still install the m2Eclipse plugin. Here is the link:
http://www.eclipse.org/m2e/
Once you have this installed, you should be able to run all the maven commands. To do so, from the package explorer, you would right click on either the maven project or the pom.xml in the maven project, highlight Run As, then click Maven Install.
Hope this helped.
Run a custom maven command in Eclipse as follows:
Right-click the maven project or pom.xml
Expand Run As
Select Maven Build...
Set Goals to the command, such as: clean install -X
Note: Eclipse prefixes the command with mvn automatically.
You can create external command Run -> External Tools -> External Tools Configuration...
It will be available under Run -> External Tools and can be run using shortcuts.
Right click on pom.xml, Run As, you should see the list of m2 options if you have Maven installed, you can select Maven Clean from there
If you want to open command prompt inside your eclipse, this can be a useful approach to link cmd with eclipse.
You can follow this link to get the steps in detail with screenshots.
How to use cmd prompt inside Eclipse ?
I'm quoting the steps here:
Step 1: Setup a new External Configuration Tool
In the Eclipse tool go to Run -> External Tools -> External Tools Configurations option.
Step 2: Click New Launch Configuration option in Create, manage and run configuration screen
Step 3: New Configuration screen for configuring the command prompt
Step 4: Provide configuration details of the Command Prompt in the Main tab
Name: Give any name to your configuration (Here it is Command_Prompt)
Location: Location of the CMD.exe in your Windows
Working Directory: Any directory where you want to point the Command prompt
Step 5: Tick the check box Allocate console
This will ensure the eclipse console is being used as the command prompt for any input or output.
Step 6: Click Run and you are there!! You will land up in the C: directory as a working directory
Just found a convenient workaround:
Package Explorer > Context Menu (for specific project) > StartExplorer > Start Shell Here
This opens the cmd line for my project.
Unless someone can provide me a better answer, I will accept my own for now.

Does anyone know how to generate groovydocs via eclipse? I cant find any plugins to help me generate them. I have Groovy-Eclipse (Required) & Groovy Eclipse SDK (optional) installed.
If you have any solutions, please explain.
You will need to run them from the command line. If you want some amount of Eclipse integration, you can run them as an external tool. You can create an external tool here:
In the dialog that pops up, specify the path to groovydoc. In the argument section, place this (as well as any other options you want):
${folder_prompt:running groovydoc?:/Default/file/path}
This will open a folder prompt with the default file path specified. The choice of folder will be used as the argument to the groovydoc invocation.
I am using a the NetBeans 7.x IDE. I have a Netbeans Application module. I use the Build and the Run buttons from the IDE. The module runs just fine when I press Run Project or F6 button. I like to run
this from the command line. Since everything was build automatically for
me I have no idea where things are or how to run it. There are several jar files in the project/build/public-package-jars. Is there a way to see what command and options the Run Project is using ?
Go to the root of the application (or wherever there is a build.xml file) on the command line and run ant -p. That will list all of the available options for building and running the application.
I'm working on a blackberry project using eclipse and bb-ant tools. I've created a build.xml file to perform the build. Everytime I try to run an Ant build, eclipse pops up the progress dialog and it hangs stating "Waiting for virtual machine to exit."
I downloaded an open source Blackberry project that has an ant build and it is showing the same behavior.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Edit:
I used the command line to build my xml file and it built fine. However, when I tried from Eclipse it still hangs.
I've tried both the standard eclipse plugin directory and the path I downloaded ant to.
You could check if your ANT_HOME settings are correct (see also this blog post).
"Window > Preference > Ant > Runtime": "Ant Home Entries".
if the jars files are from a plugin directory (beside the default 'org.apache.ant_1.7.1.v20090120-1145' one) and not an independent ant installation, that might explain the problem.
Try clicking the "Ant Home" button on the right side and setting up ant home such as "C:\path\to\apache-ant-1.7.0"
There are similar bugs to this kind of situation (bug 173419, ticket 91).
It is worth checking the JVM used for the project.
It can also occurs when a ant task is poorly implemented.
You had the problem because the java version ant tries to run with is incorrect.
By default, eclipse will try to run the ant build with the java version it uses to compile the java files (Blackberry JRE), which won't work! You need to change the jre version by choosing "Run As... > Ant build". Before clicking run, go to the JRE tab, choose "Separate JRE:" and change "Blackberry JRE " to a standard java JRE. Press the run button and everything should work correctly.
I hit this problem also. Although I never used the same solution, you pointed me in the same direction.
I was using a ant file as a builder in my project, and I disabled the Allocate Console build option. This is when I hit the 'Waiting for virtual machine to exit'.
So I simply enabled the Launch in background option and it worked.
